The number of passengers at the station has decreased considerably in the 2000s; in 2000 the station was used by 240,344 passengers, but had decreased to 107,409 in 2017.[3]
Services
[edit]Almería is served by Media Distancia trains to Linares Baeza and Granada, along with Intercity services to Madrid Atocha which takes around six hours.[4]
Future
[edit]Almería is the future terminus of the Murcia–Almería high-speed rail line, which will link Almería to Madrid Atocha via Murcia del Carmen, Albacete-Los Llanos and Cuenca–Fernando Zóbel.
