New train line in Spain may stop in La Linea

A new train line in Spain, connecting Nerja to Algeciras, may include a stop in La Linea, a town near Gibraltar. This addition is under consideration due to the area's population of over 100,000 residents. The proposed line would have six main stops and could significantly increase tourism and economic activity in Gibraltar. Estimates suggest it could bring in €50 to €100 million in indirect economic gains and create up to 1,000 jobs. The railway's construction costs are projected between €500 million to €1 billion for the entire 50 km line. If approved, the line could serve up to 4.9 million passengers annually, with around 1.5 million expected to stop in La Linea.
