Editing Toledo, Spain (section)

==Transport==
Toledo has long been an obligatory stop in the centre of the peninsula. The roads leading to historic Toledo are still used and in many cases have provided the basis for existing roads leading into the city.

===Roads===
From Toledo, the N-400 links the city with [[Cuenca, Spain|Cuenca]] via [[Ocaña, Spain|Ocaña]] and [[Tarancón]]. It is currently in the process of transformation into the future A-40 Castilla–La Mancha motorway, which will link Maqueda (where it joins the Extremadura motorway), Toledo, Ocaña (where it attaches to the Motorway of Andalusia), Tarancón (where it connects with the Levante motorway), Cuenca and [[Teruel]].

The old 401 National Road (Madrid-Toledo-Ciudad Real) was transformed in the late 1980s into the current A-42 as a result of splitting and removing the road that the various crossings included (Illescas, Yuncos, etc.).

The split path extends up to {{convert|7|km|0|abbr=off}} south of Toledo, towards Ciudad Real, where it continues as a conventional road. At this point, the A-42 connects with the Highway of the Vineyard that goes as far as Tomelloso. There are plans to extend the A-42, by a toll road, to Ciudad Real and [[Jaén, Spain|Jaén]].

In the early twenty-first century, the toll motorway AP-41 was built, in order to reduce [[congestion (traffic)|traffic congestion]] between Toledo and Madrid.

Toledo is also part of the N-403, Toledo–Maqueda–Ávila–Adanero State Highway Network. Part of the route of this road will be replaced by that of the aforementioned Castilla–La Mancha Highway.

In addition to these roads, several regional and provincial roads link the city with the regions of Montes de Toledo, La Jara, and La Mancha.

===Rail===

In the mid-nineteenth century, Toledo was one of the first Spanish cities to receive rail service, with the arrival of the Madrid – Aranjuez line, which was inaugurated by [[Isabella II]] on June 12, 1858. The current [[Toledo Railway Station]], (built in [[Neo-Mudéjar]] style), was opened on April 24, 1919.

The line suffered some technical issues and service disruptions but continued to serve as the main intercity route until the early twenty-first century. On July 2, 2003, the last conventional train service between the two capitals ended and work began on a high-speed link to Madrid, which entered service on November 15 2005.<ref>{{cite news |last=Ramirez |first=Francisca |date=2020-11-22 |title=15 años del AVE que modernizó a Toledo |trans-title=15 years of the high-speed rail that modernized Toledo  |url=https://www.abc.es/espana/castilla-la-mancha/toledo/ciudad/abci-15-anos-modernizo-toledo-202011221329_noticia.html |work=ABC |language=Spanish |location=Toledo, Spain |access-date=2023-06-22}}</ref> The new line reduced the travel time to Madrid to just under 30 minutes.
