“…Conversion of the abandoned railway into a tram line has also been proposed, based on the status of the current urban transportation system, forecasts of urban growth in the city, and future transportation demands. In other research, Eizaguirre-Iribar et al [18] proposed the traffic potential of abandoned railways as bike lanes; their study explored non-motor vehicle accessibility of linear railway infrastructure at different scales.…”

“…In this regard, some of the sections can have higher accessibility levels than their surrounding segments, so these areas may contain possible future nodes that should be considered. For that purpose, the number of cities or towns from where it is possible to access each section of the infrastructure in a specific time (45 min) is measured, where PgRouting in QGIS (drivingDistance) is used to assess simple network distance measures [8].…”

“…Then, the creation of catchment areas related to different non-motorized transport modes is proposed at the urban level, measuring accessibility within 10 min of travel time. Distance accessibility measures (isochrones) are used considering all transport infrastructure and urban networks in addition to the disused railway infrastructure, and network analyses are developed by PgRouting in QGIS (alphashape) [8]. Accordingly, three areas and related transport modes are distinguished in each node (Figure 1): 500 m, walking round-trip; 1000 m, walking non-round-trip, running or cycling round-trip; and 2000 m, cycling non-round-trip.…”

“…Recovering the operability of these routes would constitute a basis for creating a sustainable and healthy mobility system on a regional scale. It would offer a green and safe infrastructure based on non-motorized systems for daily trips [8]. This strategy would have a particular impact on regional polynuclear systems, with large volumes of daily trips between nearby urban areas, as is the case in several European countries.…”

The disappearance of kilometers of railways that once structured their surrounding territory has become an alarming issue in the last decades. These days, several disused railway infrastructures have been converted into non-motorized transport infrastructures. Meanwhile, most of the railway nodes have been abandoned or reused without consideration of the linear infrastructure. This paper argues that former railway nodes can have potential in their surrounding environment and as part of a non-motorized transport axis, i.e., to again be nodes of the former linear infrastructure. Accordingly, the objective of the paper is to analyze the potential of disused railway nodes, focusing on the possibilities they could offer in the area, and defining future approaches for more sustainable development. For that purpose, relations between former railway nodes and their surrounding environment are studied considering transport and land use in the non-motorized influence areas. Existing node/place models were adapted and a multiaxial model was created to measure the balance between transport and land use and typify the defined area. The proposed methodology was applied in a case study, classifying node areas in different development typologies that will be related to different future approaches.

“…De este estudio cabe deducir que el cicloturismo se encuentra en estos momentos en España y Andalucía en una fase de despegue, disponiendo, por tanto, de un gran potencial para tener éxito como motor dinamizador de espacios rurales, donde se combinan diferentes características, desde el respeto por la naturaleza, aspectos beneficiosos para la salud y derramas económicas que se aportan a lo largo de estos itinerarios (Fernández, F., 2015;Eizaguirre et al, 2016;y Ventura, J. y Gavira, A., 2016). También es cierto que nos encontramos ante una disponibilidad reducida para acceder en tren a estos itinerarios no motorizados con bicicletas, ya que la normativa de acceso al transporte ferroviario con ellas es, en España, más restrictiva que en otros países de nuestro entorno, donde existe mayor número de trenes a los que se puede acceder con bicicletas y que presentan además una frecuencia de paso más elevada.…”

The rise of cycle tourism is based on the use of non-motorized itineraries, which favours a new tourist typology that makes possible the revitalization of rural and peripheral areas. At present, studies of sustainable mobility consider, to a large extent, intermodality, especially among public transportation means, which are not very polluting and collective, as in the case of railways. Andalusia has a huge variety of non-motorized itineraries (livestock trails, rural roads, greenways ...) associated with areas of great scenic and heritage value. The main objective of this research is the establishment of a methodology that allows to identify the existing links between railway lines in use and these itineraries. To do this, at the methodological level, a proximity study was carried out first using the Buffer Geoprocessing tool, and subsequently a Network Analysis to measure accessibility through this extension, in both cases of the ArcGIS program, applied to the Geographic Information System that has been implemented. Its main results are related to the determination of favourable routes for potential users of the "train+bike" intermodality in Andalusia. In addition, its conclusions are, therefore, indicative for further studies of detail.
