The coastal rail link

The regional infrastructure council has started the administrative procedure that will allow it to expropriate land needed to accommodate the future high-speed coastal rail link between Alicante and Valencia.

Apart from the link between Alicante and Valencia, the high sped line will connect with Benidorm and El Altet Airport as well as with the AVE high speed rail line between Alicante and Madrid.

That is good news for travellers but perhaps less than good for those who will loose some or all of their land. There is no mention of the rates of compensation in the report that I have just read.
