The track is since end of December 2007 daily from eight Alvia - pairs of trains (with multiple units of the series 130 250 km / h) and five AVE -Zugpaaren (series 102 , with 300 km / h) traveled. The re-gauging Alvia trains run beyond Valladolid in the existing broad-gauge network further north.
Platform tracks 16 to 21 in Madrid-Chamartín station were re-gauged for regular lane operation, and track 15 has been prepared for this. Until the regular-lane tunnel connection is put into operation, they end under the bridge reception building. Until then, the line is a regular- gauge island operation in the broad-gauge network. The exchange of vehicles from vehicles that cannot be re-tracked is only possible with the use of wide-gauge roller stands.
