Cercanías Asturias is a commuter rail service operating in Autonomous Community of Asturias, mainly in the central area of the region.

History

During the second half of the 20th century, Renfe operated several services on all the Iberian-gauge lines and circulated as suburban trains. They were popularly known as "cercanías", but Renfe did not have a specific structure for them.[1] This changed in the 80s when the company began plans to create a defined and organised service, which was inaugurated in 1989.[2][3]

At first they were divided into C-1 (Puente de los Fierros-Gijón), C-2 (Oviedo-El Entrego), C-3 (Trubia-Oviedo) and C-4 (Oviedo-Avilés) services.[4][5][6] Nevertheless, in 1999, as part of a urbanistic project called the Green Belt, the Fuso de la Reina branch to Oviedo was closed and the former Iberian-gauge C-3 line (Oviedo-Trubia railway line) was converted into narrow-gauge.[7]

In 2013, after the merger of FEVE with Renfe, its five metric-gauge lines have been operated by Renfe Feve (renamed as Cercanías AM in 2021). Since 2023, fares have been unified for both Iberian-gauge and Metric-gauge lines and payments with Conecta, an Asturian fare card valid for all the means of transport under the umbrella of the Asturian Consortium of Transportation, were enabled.[8][9] In 2024, tickets can be paid by credit card.[10]
