All political parties in Arta are agreed that they still want the railway line from Manacor to be built. They are urging the Balearic government to do what it can, including taking legal measures if necessary, to get funding from Madrid in accordance with an agreement of October 2008. This agreement, signed by the national ministry of development, was for investing in major rail infrastructure projects in Majorca. One of these was the revival of the old Manacor-Arta line. (The other main project was the extension from Sa Pobla to Alcudia.) Work was started on the Arta line but was stopped in 2011. Two years later it was decided to create a green way along what had already been levelled for the track between Manacor and Arta.

The sooner this project is reinstated the better for Mallorcan Tourism. The line base is being used as a dogs toilet. Tunnels, Stations, Tree Lined routes are in place. Could Arta be connected to Alcudia as well ?. Could Soller be connected to Inca?. Could a line be built from Palma to The Airport ? Also, Could a route be built from Palma to Andratx?. MAXIMUM TOURIST ATTRACTIONS ALL YEAR ROUND !. Come on MADRID you have to speculate to accumulate!!!
