Tuesday 10th October 2023 Last day of this trip. Firstly from Alacant to València on a Euromed service (which use Alvia-type gauge changing Talgo sets) via the re-opened line between La Encina triangle and Moixent in better daylight. Then a fill-in move to see if I could get a train into or out of the rare bay platform 4 at Buñol on the Cercanías C-3 line towards Utiel, which I succeeded in doing; also covering the "long" curve between València Nord and València FSL which had been thought to be "freight only". Flying from València is easy, unlike many other Spanish airports, as it has a good metro service straight to the airport. Flight back to Manchester near enough on time; and I took the easy but slow tram route home as there were a lot of train cancellations.
