Bullet trains in Spain: when a train beats a plane

High speed rail is old news in Spain. For the Seville-Madrid route of the AVE, trains are more popular than planes. We at faircompanies took a ride on the newest link from Barcelona to Madrid to clock our door-to-door travel time.

@dimiproto spain won't need more kms of fast train than china because china is bigger than spain. Relationing surface of the country vs kms of fast train...spain will head the list. I don't want to have a lot of kms, i want to have a fast train which will transport me to any capital city of spain in less time than plane. Thats the important thing.

She said in 2010 Spain will be the country with the most number of kms of high speed train in the world and not in 2020.

Nice try but next time try to be more accurate. 1st) the non stop train takes 2h 38 and the rest trains 3h 10 min. 2nd) the distance is 630 km - 391 miles. 3rd) the train is faster than the plane if one includes the time to/from the airport as well as the check in time. 4th) UK and the rest EU countries have not been developing highways against railways but parallel - highway fetish started excessively in the US. 5th) China will be the country with the most km of tracks and not Spain in 2020
