                              Abstract

                              This paper analyses the changes in mobility and modal share in a railway corridor
                              after the construction of a new high-speed line (HSL), during the last economic
                              crisis.

                              The  following  chapters  describe  the  new  HSL  Madrid-Levante,  that  connects
                              Madrid with Valencia and Alicante, detailing the fieldwork carried out (before
                              and after the HSL), and finally presents the most relevant results, mainly in
                              relation to modal share.

                              The first results of the analysis carried out in Madrid-Galicia and Madrid-León /
                              Asturias corridors are also presented.

                              From the results of these  studies, we observe the great modal shift experienced
                              in the relationships where a high-speed rail (HSR) is implemented, turning the
                              railroad into a very important mode of transport, reaching between 25 and
                              35% of passengers. Airplane experiences a great fall in its demand, maintaining
                              basically the connection traffic, whereas car, although it descends, continues
                              being the dominant mode of transport.



                              Keywords: High-speed rail (HSR), high-speed line (HSL), demand, modal share, economic crisis.
