History
Cuenca has been served by the railroad since 1885, and had a station on the old {{ill|Aranjuez - Valencia Railway|es|Línea_Aranjuez-Valencia}}. On 2010 December 19 a new AVE (high-speed rail) link was established on the Madrid–Levante high-speed rail line between Madrid – Atocha station and Cuenca – Fernando Zobel station, but Renfe kept a daily Media Distancia service between Madrid (Aranjuez in the weekend) and Valencia via the old line taking 3 hours to Madrid and another 3 hours to Valencia, until the section between Tarancón and Utiel was closed on 2022 July 20 and left Cuenca without a station within the city centre.https://periodicoclm.publico.es/2022/07/18/cuenca-dice-adios-tren-convencional-despues-139-anos-mientras-anuncia-judicializacion-cierre-linea/ {{Bare URL inline|date=August 2024}}
