History
Cuenca has been served by the railroad since 1885, and had a station on the old Aranjuez - Valencia Railway [es]. On 2010 December 19 a new AVE (high-speed rail) link was established on the Madrid–Levante high-speed rail line between Madrid – Atocha station and Cuenca – Fernando Zobel station, but Renfe kept a daily Media Distancia service between Madrid (Aranjuez in the weekend) and Valencia via the old line taking 3 hours to Madrid and another 3 hours to Valencia, until the section between Tarancón and Utiel was closed on 2022 July 20 and left Cuenca without a station within the city centre.

Cuenca, Spain is a popular day or weekend trip from Madrid, with frequent AVE, AVLO, Alvia, Avant and Iryo trains between Madrid and Valencia or Alicante serving the station.

Bus line L1 connects the station to the city centre every 30' (60' in the weekends) in approx. 20-25'.
