Trains to and from Gibraltar Airport (GIB)

The train is the fastest transportation a traveler can take going to any point of destination, especially to far-flung areas. However, Gibraltar does not have a railroad network.

There are no existing railways in Gibraltar. There was once an extensive railway within the Gibraltar Dockyard, neighboring areas, and storage facilities. It included underpasses, one of which went through the Rock of Gibraltar and is still used today as a roadway tunnel.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Gibraltar also had a temporary industrial railway. When railways were operational back in the day, it was possible to travel right around the entire coastline of Gibraltar by train. The dockyard railway had documented 17 locomotives indicated by numbers; four also carried names: Gibraltar, Catalan, Rosia, and Calpe.

The railway route extends to the outskirts of La Linea from the abandoned San Roque-La Linea railroad expansion project in the 1970s. The closest railway station in Spain is the "San Roque - La Línea" station on the ADIF Algeciras-Bobadilla railway line Junction via Ronda.

In 2021, after details materialized about a potential accession arrangement of Gibraltar into the Schengen Area, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo remarked on the possibility of railway development in Europe.

Until 1969 the ferry transport system from Gibraltar provided convenient access to Algeciras station and the railway line to Ronda, built by a British organization known as the Algeciras Gibraltar Railway Company.

Ferries by FRS run from Gibraltar to Tanger-Med port twice weekly, providing access to the Moroccan railway system.

Therefore, we do not recommend trains as a mode of transportation for travelers.
