When fully operational the Madrid–Levante network will total 955 km (593 mi) of high-speed rail capable of top speeds of 350 km/h (217 mph) in the majority of its segments.

[4] The line is built to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge, and electric powered at 25 kV AC, with signalling ERTMS levels 1 and 2.

More than 10 000 fossils have been collected, almost half of which belong to titanosaurs comprising more than twenty sets of partial skeletons in anatomical connection or with a low dispersion of their skeletal elements.

[8] The 52 km part between Torrent outside Valencia and Xàtiva, which is under construction since October 2002, was initially expected to be completed by end 2020 and it is designed for speeds up to 350 km/h.

[9] Since 9 September 2023 this 41.2 km (25.6 mi) segment is closed for modernisation works to high-speed rail standards.

The 8.9 km (5.5 mi) long access section towards the new segment to Murcia had been in service since 2008, and was only used for Iberian gauge trains until the 1st February 2021, when the section linking Monforte del Cid, Elche and Orihuela - 48.4 km (30.1 mi) in total length - was inaugurated.

Albacete-Los Llanos railway station is 23,000 m2 (250,000 sq ft) with a commercial area and parking space for 600 cars.

It will be 8 rail tracks wide with underground platforms while the old station building is planned to serve buses and local trains.

[22][23] The current Cartagena railway station, located next to the old town is planned to be expanded with three new tracks next to the old building in order to host high speed services.

Construction of the high speed railway between Murcia and Cartagena was scheduled since 2018 and planned to be complete by 2023 along with the new station, but still remain unfinished.
