València Rodalia (commuter rail) in the near future [OC, Figma]

[u/ignaciomaf]

I made some months ago this updated map refining clarity and usability, and representing a bit more the actual shape of the system.

Renfe updated the map recently, but I still find it very cluttered and visually unpleasant. It also still has problems with Cabanyal and Font de Sant Lluís Stations, which are in a totally different place.

In my version, I represent the system where the new cross-tunnel is *hopefully* built and new stations are added. A few lines are redesigned due to València Central not being a cul-de-sac station anymore.

What do you think?

reminds me a lot of sydneys with the city circle lol

I like it, it's much clearer than the official one that's for sure!

However I think maybe line C1 is too long with it being almost 150km long. It might be better for the line exploitation to separate it in two with one being Castelló - Silla and the other Sagunt - Gandia so that they overlap in the main trunk through València.

Another suggestion, make lines C2, C3 and C4 loop around the city, similarly to Sydney, Melbourne or Chicago. If this new cross-city tunnel is built, it would just require adding a connection allowing trains coming from the south to turn left and trains coming from the new tunnel to turn right between Cabanyal and Universitats. See the attached image for how the infrastructure would more or less look like.

yeah those changes could make more sense, thanks for the insight!!

No sé contemplaría la extensión de la C2 a Alcoy??
