All aboard the TRAM!

LAST week, the final section of line 9 of the TRAM d’Alacant, between Gata de Gorgos and Denia, went into operation and the first passengers were able to enjoy this long ­ awaited service between Teulada and Gata for just 40 cents.

The regional government has just announced an inflation ­ busting 50 per cent reduction in public transport prices from February 1 to June 30, 2023, and free travel for the under ­ 30s, making this perhaps the most inexpensive way to get around in the Valencian Community. The measures apply to the entire Metrovalencia network, TRAM d’Alacant , Castelló Tram, MetroBus and concessions.

The refurbishment of Line 9 of the TRAM d’Alacant between Dénia and Benidorm cost €150 million funded by the state and regional governments and has linked eight towns of the Marina Alta and the Marina Baixa through the FGV transport network.

The project also entailed transforming level crossings with traffic lights and demolishing the walls that enclosed the tracks, as well as adapting the station in Denia itself.

ANYONE lucky enough to have witnessed this year's pantomime, Cinderella, by Careline Theatre will know what a success it was.

Careline Theatre has long held the reputation of an amateur theatre group with a professional touch and this production is truly worthy of that statement.

The theatre encourages all ages to participate in its productions and in this show, we witnessed a chorus with members as young as six up to 70+.

You must also complete a form and send this to the electronic office or to the Customer Service Office in C/ de les Escoles, 2, Benitachell in person. The deadline for entries is February 24 at 2pm.
