Renfe to invest €1bn in maintenance workshops by 2030

On 10 October 2025, during a visit to Renfe's new high-speed workshop Fuencarral II in Madrid, Transport Minister Óscar Puente presented a workshop and maintenance plan for 2025–2030 worth €1 billion. It covers more than 60 planned workshops (ten of them already under construction or in the project stage), new sites in Almería, Irun and La Sagra among others, and three spare-parts logistics centres. The 18,900 m² Fuencarral II hall cost almost €100 million, doubles maintenance capacity for standard-gauge trains and was due to enter service before the end of 2025; new processes are meant to cut workshop times by 29% (LOK Report, 24 Oct 2025; second source: La Moncloa, 10 Oct 2025).
