The Minister for Transport and Sustainable Mobility
has appeared after the meeting of the Crisis Committee to monitor the effects of the DANA
chaired online from Baku (Azerbaijan) by the head of the Government
who reported on the current state of the affected infrastructures and their expected recovery
explained that the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility
will partially reopen the C1 and C2 commuter train lines in Valencia tomorrow
and will activate a road transport service with 112 free buses to guarantee the operation of the C1
"Thanks to the workers of the ministry I head and its public companies
we are going to re-establish 99% of the Cercanías service
a very important step in the recovery of mobility in the metropolitan area of Valencia
as 82,000 passengers a day use the Cercanías network"
said Óscar Puente after the meeting of the Crisis Committee to monitor the effects of the DANA
almost all services will be covered by train and bus
Renfe has made available 56,000 seats per day and scheduled 1,022 daily circulations for the three lines
and the buses will stop at all locations on the corridors not served by local services
The budget for the road service is around 11.3 million euros
the section of the C1 between Gandía and Silla will be carried out by train and the section between Silla and Valencia by bus
it will be possible to travel by train between Moixent and Carcaixent and then by bus to Valencia
the C3 Valencia-Utiel line service will be operated entirely by road due to the complicated state of the infrastructure
between Silla and Valencia (C1) a direct bus service is established with a basic frequency of 10 minutes on working days
which will be reinforced depending on the existing demand
The starting point will be in Valencia Joaquín Sorolla while the return will be to Valencia Estació del Nord

the service will be provided with five bus lines: Four direct bus lines between Valencia and Carcaixent
with frequencies ranging from 15 to 30 minutes on weekdays
and a bus line with intermediate stops to Silla
Line C3 offers the usual number of journeys by road from Utiel Requena to Valencia and intermediate stops
departures will start from Plaza de España and arrivals will be at Valencia Estació del Nord
There will be no stop in Cheste due to the complicated situation
The first buses will leave from Silla in the direction of Valencia and from Carcaixent at 5.00 am
The last bus service will depart at 22:30 on C1 and C2 and at 22:05 on C3
Cercanías lines C1 and C2 are partially reopened after less than two weeks of intensive work by Adif to clear the tracks and stations of vehicles
the operator has removed more than 1,000 vehicles from the lines
replaced the tracks and ballast and carried out safety tests to put them into service in optimum conditions
222.3 kilometres of the Cercanías lines will have been recovered after the damage caused by the devastating rains
whose service was activated on Saturday 2 November
This work has also been carried out on the high-speed line between Madrid and Valencia
where the platform had to be rebuilt and the tracks had to be replaced in the area of the Chiva tunnel
and the safety installations of the Torrent tunnel
all high-speed trains will run on the line
which means a total of 199 weekly services in both directions with an offer of 80,000 seats per week by Renfe
Adif continues to work on the repair and reconstruction of the two most damaged sections of lines C1
which is in a very complicated situation with a viaduct
It should be recalled that after the rains
around 80 kilometres were completely destroyed and unrecoverable

the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility
is making progress in the recovery of road mobility in the province and in the repair of state-owned roads damaged by the DANA
the provisional diversion of the A-7 will be opened at Quart de Poblet
which will allow traffic to be restored on the southern ring road of the A-7 in Valencia and the connection with the A-3
which will restore the functionality of the Valencia bypass
This is a very important action as it will re-establish a backbone of the Mediterranean corridor
through which more than 100,000 vehicles circulate daily
and after more than ten days working night and day
we already have 139 kilometres of the network recovered and in service
a section of the N-330 that connects Utiel with Talayuelas
at the height of Siete Aguas and Buñol
160 kilometres of the road network and its annexed roads were seriously affected
We continue to work on emergency works on the N-330
A-7 and A-3 to rebuild collapsed structures and damaged lanes
A total of 29 million euros of emergency funds has been made available initially
and more than 540 people are currently working day and night in triple shifts to make as much progress as possible

A DRUG dealer is waiting to learn his fate at the hands of a district judge
Adam Boyce appeared in the dock at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday
with intent to supply it in Newbury on September 1
District judge Samuel Goozee ordered pre-sentence reports
He specified that these should be prepared on an ‘all options’ basis
who was legally represented at the hearing by Adonis Daniel
was meanwhile released on unconditional bail
A PROLIFIC dealer is back behind bars following his latest
The 31-year-old already had previous convictions including conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine
posssessing cocaine with intent to supply it
possessing cannabis with intent to supply it plus numerous offences of possessing both Class A and Class B controlled drug
In the dock for sentencing at Reading Crown Court on Friday
was of no fixed address at the time of his arrest
said police on plain clothes patrol in a car park at Carcaixent Square in Newbury saw a man named David Clarke carrying a Tesco bag
Mr Clarke was caught and the bag was found to contain a large quantity of cocaine
Mr Ward-Jackson added: “He told police a man he knew as ‘Bean’ or Elliott had asked him to pick up the bag and bring it to him.”
Forensic tests later showed Freeman’s DNA on the drugs
It transpired that Freeman had been on the run
having broken the licence conditions of his early release from a prison term imposed for previous drug dealing
He admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine to David Clarke in Newbury on May 10 last year
Freeman further admitted remaining unlawfully at large for 10 months
having ignored notification of his recall to HMP (His Majesty's Prison) Bullingdon in Oxfordshire
said his client was soon to become a father and handed the court character references written on Freeman’s behalf by his mother and partner
He added that Freeman had suffered from learning difficulties as a child and had been severely affected by a bereavement
Mr McCrindell went on: “He isn’t someone who is beyond the pail in terms of his potential for rehabilitation
“His child is due in October so his imprisonment will affect his partner and child
“I hope Your Honour will show some mercy to this man.”
Judge Kirsty Real told Freeman: “You controlled the direction of wholesale quantities of drugs worth a lot of money
“Your latest offending is part of a long-standing and escalating pattern and your risk of re-offending is very high.”
She sentenced Freeman to five years and eight months imprisonment
He will serve half of that time behind bars and the remainder on licence again in the community
