Getting There By Rail Mexico’s passenger railway system has been in decline for some years. Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México (FNM) or Mexican National Railways (tel: (55) 5547 1084; website: www.ferrocarriles.com) is the service provider. Estación Buenavista (Buenavista Station) is a spacious building on Avenida Insurgentes Norte at the junction of Alzate with Mosqueta. There are left-luggage facilities, long-distance telephone and fax services, an information desk and a cafeteria. Rail services: The only passenger services still running from Mexico City go to Querétaro, San Miguel de Allende, San Luis Potosí and Saltillo. These leave three times a week. A monthly timetable is available at the station. These services are extremely slow and subject to change and cancellation at short notice. Transport to the city: Buses from the station run along Avenida Insurgentes; buses marked ‘M(etro) Insurgentes’ stop at Metro Insurgentes. The nearest metro stations are Revolución and Guerrero, around one kilometre (0.6 miles) away. There are no authorised taxis – it is advisable to call a radio-taxi. Radio Elite (tel: (55) 5660 1122) are reliable and quick. |
