Spain's rail infrastructure manager Adif has awarded the contract to refurbish Soria station Soria list for 4.47 million euros awarded. Announced on 16 September 2026, the project covers the refurbishment of the interior of the nearly century-old station building, the restoration of its historic appearance, and work on the forecourt and adjacent areas. Adif is acting on behalf of Ministerio de Transportes y Movilidad Sostenible.
The project’s central focus is the reorganisation of the interior to shorten routes and make operations easier. The main entrance and main hall will be moved into the building’s three central sections, creating a clear, symmetrical layout. Work is also planned on neighbouring buildings and on the wall separating the station grounds from Carretera de Madrid . The façade’s historic design features and key interior areas are to be preserved and, where necessary, restored.
The immediate surroundings of the station at El Cañuelo will also be redesigned. At Plaza de acceso Adif plans to reorganise motor traffic, improve pedestrian routes and rearrange the parking areas. The company says the parking will have capacity for fifty vehicles. The aim is to better integrate the station into Soria’s urban fabric, while making noticeable improvements to accessibility, wayfinding and the quality of the public space.
The contract award forms part of a broader context of regional rail projects. In parallel, the Ministerio de Transportes y Movilidad Sostenible is overseeing plans to improve the conventional rail link Torralba–Soria. A feasibility study has also been launched into a possible connection between the Torralba–Soria–Castejón corridor and the high-speed network. These projects concern network development; details of the scope, timetable or funding of individual measures remain subject to official decisions and announcements.
The tender for the construction work in Soria was published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado in spring 2026; the contract award now follows on from that. According to Adif, no detailed timetables or contractors have been named at this stage. Reliable information on construction phases and completion is expected only once the contract is under way. For the city of Soria in Castilla y León the investment means a functional upgrade to the station and the preservation of a landmark historic building.
