# Venta de Baños–Gijón railway

The Venta de Baños–Gijón railway is a Spanish railway linking Gijón, Asturias to the rest of the mainline Spanish rail network.

## Route

The line branches from the Madrid–Hendaye railway at Venta de Baños, and serves Palencia, León and Oviedo before reaching Gijón. At León, the León–A Coruña railway starts.

## Services

The Cercanías Asturias commuter rail service operates to Puente de los Fierres from Gijón; and a Renfe Regional service runs the full length of the line from Gijón to Valladolid-Campo Grande, taking 5 hours and 43 minutes.

## Future

The line is to be extended from its current Gijón terminus further into the city to Cabueñes via a tunnel with underground stations. This project, known as Metrotrén Asturias, stalled in 2006, but is due to resume in 2019 and conclude in 2023.
