The Board of Directors of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) has approved the transfer of six cars of the emblematic “Limón Exprés” to the Ponfeblino Consortium. These cars will become part of the heritage of the tourist train from Bierzo.
The PP’s spokesman in the Regional Council of Bierzo, José Manuel Pereira, has welcomed the news, stressing that this incorporation “gives a real boost to the Ponfeblino” and thanking the Ministry of Mobility of the Junta de Castilla y León for its decisive role in materialising the transfer.
The Ponfeblino project, which aims to recover the historic Ponferrada-Villablino railway line, is progressing steadily.
