Users of the Alcorcón Central, Las Retamas, and San José de Valderas stations on the C-5 Cercanías line are experiencing service modifications starting today, July 17. These changes are due to works that Adif will carry out at Atocha Cercanías station, a project aimed at increasing the capacity of the Sol tunnel and improving the reliability of the infrastructure.
The first phase, from July 17 to 22, means that C-5 trains will terminate and start their routes at Atocha. This will require travelers from Alcorcón and Móstoles to change trains at this station to continue their journey on the C-5 line, adding to recent incidents and delays.
From July 23 until August 16, service will be interrupted between Villaverde Alto and Embajadores. The C-5 will be divided into two sections: Humanes/Fuenlabrada – Villaverde Alto and Móstoles El Soto – Embajadores, both with ten-minute frequencies. Renfe will implement a shuttle train between Villaverde Alto and Méndez Álvaro to connect both ends.
As an alternative, travelers with a valid Cercanías ticket can use certain EMT bus lines during service interruptions. Renfe will enhance information through station staff, information panels, public address systems, social media, and WhatsApp.
