    FACULTAD DE DERECHO LA LIBERALIZACIÓN DEL SECTOR FERROVIARIO DE PERSONAS Autor: Cristina María Arcas Rubio 4 º E-1 JGP Derecho Administrativo Tutor: Antonio Jesús Alonso Timón Madrid Mayo, 2020 Resumen La liberalización de sector ferroviario de personas se hará efectiva en diciembre de 2020 tras un largo proceso de transposición de paquetes ferroviarios comunitarios al ordenamiento jurídico español. Por ende, nuevas compañías ferroviarias se incorporarán a la prestación de servicios de transporte ferroviario de viajeros que competirán con el operador histórico.

Abstract The liberalization of the railway sector will be effective in December 2020 after a lengthy process of transposition of community railway packages to the Spanish legal order. Thus, new railway companies will join the service delivery of the railway transport of passengers that will compete with the historic operator.
