The Tren Maya station in Valladolid begins operations during the first week of January. The exact date was not confirmed.
Also expected to open in January is the Chichén Itzá station in Pisté, though that’s not official.
Tickets in the direction to Campeche and Cancún are now on sale at the station, which has opened ahead of time — according to official sources.
The Tren Maya first began traveling on the Campeche – Mérida route nearly two weeks ago and its way through the station in Valladolid, but was not yet ready to load or unload passengers.

The lack of an exact date for the inaugural voyage of the Tren Maya from Valladolid likely has to do with the fact that the Campeche – Cancún route has been temporarily suspended.
This is because the trains used on this route are currently being used to test tracks on the Campeche – Palenque route which is expected to open as early as Feb. 2024.
It is not yet clear when the full passenger capacity of the Tren Maya will be achieved. As of last week, only roughly 20% of seats were being sold despite the high demand.
No shuttles or buses to transport passengers back and forth from Valladolid to the Tren Maya Station have yet been announced.
