La gare Renfe de Chamartín est la ...

La gare Renfe de Chamartín est la seconde grande gare de Madrid, après Atocha. Elle est un peu plus petite, et elle dessert toutes les destinations du nord ouest de la péninsule, comme Burgos, Salamanque, Valladolid, Ávila, San Sebastián ou Irún. La Renfe vient d´ouvrir une nouvelle ligne grande vitesse entre Valladolid et Madrid. J´y prend souvent la ligne de Salamanque, ou bien parfois celle qui va vers la France, ce qui est une très mauvaise idée car le train se traine comme pas permis, a moins qu´on ne s´y soit pris que deux jours a l´avance et que les avions soient hors de prix. Pour Salamanque, il y a également un bus, mais le train a un parcours bien plus sympa, et puis on peut se lever et se dégourdir les jambes. La gare a été pensée durant la seconde république, pour connecter Madrid et Burgos, mais elle a été commencée seulement en 1933. En 36, avec la guerre civile, les travaux ont cessé, et la gare a ouvert seulement dans les années 60. La Renfe, j´aime pas trop, le site web est super compliqué a utiliser, et bien souvent ne fonctionne pas, le train se remplit et impossible d´acheter un billet, il faut prendre le suivant, a chamartín j´ai testé le service client, c´est encore pire, impossible d´avoir de l´aide. Donc on y va, on paye son billet, et point barre. Ne pas espérer de service de quelque sorte que ce soit.
Renfe Chamartin Station is the second largest train station in Madrid after Atocha. It is a little smaller, and it serves all destinations north west of the peninsula, as Burgos, Salamanca, Valladolid, Avila, San Sebastian or Irun. Renfe has opened a new high speed line between Madrid and Valladolid. I often take the line of Salamanca, or sometimes one that goes to France, which is a very bad idea because the train crawls as not permitted, unless let there be taken two days ADVANCE and planes are expensive. In Salamanca, there is also a bus, but the train has a much nicer route, and then you can get up and stretch your legs. The station was designed during the Second Republic, to connect Madrid and Burgos, but it was started only in 1933. At 36, the civil war, the work stopped, and the station opened only in the 60s. Renfe, I do not like too much, the website is super complicated to use, and often does not work, the train fills up and impossible to buy a ticket, take the following has chamartín I tested the customer service is even worse, you can not get help. So here we go, you pay the ticket, and the point bar. Do not expect service of any kind whatsoever.

La estación de trenes de Chamartín está situada en el barrio del mismo nombre, en el norte de Madrid (metro Chamartín, líneas 1 y 10). En esta estación hay servicio de metro, tren de cercanías y tren de larga distancia (con el norte de España y Europa), y es una de las dos estaciones de Madrid donde se pueden tomar trenes con destinos nacionales o internacionales (la otra es Atocha). Es una estación bastante pequeña teniendo en cuenta su importancia a nivel nacional, y quizás necesita una renovación, pero tiene todo tipo de servicios: Oficina de venta de billetes, cafeterías, cajeros automáticos, kioscos, tiendas, máquinas de impresión de billetes…

La Estación De Chamartín se alinea con las principales y modernas estaciones europeas. Cuenta con importantes innovaciones en la atención al viajero. El futuro de dicha estación, en este momento, no está del todo claro ya que se encuentra dentro de proyectos urbanísticos que la pueden modificar totalmente e incluso hacerla desaparecer. Llegan trenes de media distancia y larga distancia y es emisora de trenes internacionales a Francia y Portugal.
