The route
What the journey actually looks like
Direct or connecting, how far the route really runs, and what happens when a connection is missed.
- Direct or connecting
- 88% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 12% involve one connection.
- How far it really runs
- The route covers 886 km against 860 km in a straight line, a detour of 3 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
- Where the change is
- Connections are made at Antofagasta, Copiapó. The gap between arriving and leaving is 92 minutes, of which about 5 is walking.
- If the connection is missed
- The tightest connection we sell here has a 11 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Both legs are sold on one booking, so a missed connection is ours to fix and you are rebooked at no charge.
- First and last departure
- The first service of the day leaves La Serena at 06:02 and the last at 19:30, across 17 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.
