Antequera-Santa Ana Railway Station
Antequera-Santa Ana railway station is a railway station at a railway junction near the Spanish town of Antequera, Málaga in Andalusia. It is located 17 kilometres (11 mi) from the town centre. It was created principally to serve passengers on the developing AVE high-speed rail system. However, the station has access to Iberian gauge lines for conventional services.
High-speed services
It serves passengers using the Madrid–Málaga high-speed rail line and the Antequera-Granada high-speed rail line.
Conventional services
A gauge changer exists near the station, allowing trains to operate seamlessly on both standard gauge AVE tracks and Iberian gauge tracks. Antequera-Santa Ana is served by Media Distancia trains to Algeciras, Almería and Seville-Santa Justa.
History
The station was opened in 2006, originally as a terminus on the then-incomplete Córdoba–Málaga branch of the Spanish AVE high-speed rail system. The AVE reached Málaga in 2007. In 2019, the Antequera–Granada high-speed rail line opened, providing AVE service to Granada. Also in 2019, Adif began works to improve the lighting surrounding the station at a cost of €38,000.
