I wish I could offer more help on this but when I visited this week i found the whole thing very confusing for a non spanish speaker.
What I can say ids that there is a new system that is underground in the centre of Alicante near the indoor "mercado" if you know it.In there is a platform that says trams to Benidorm,wether this goes all the way without changing to a train is unclear,I know that the line runs out of Alicante to the coast and comes out at the station called La Marina - not to be confused with the marina in the middle of Alicante- at the end of the Alicante beach,this is where the train used to run from.There is a platform here saying Benidorm so I presume but am not sure that the tram runs all the way.Things are confused as there is another line here that runs to a place called AV Naciones which is a little way up the coast past San Juan and Albufereta.
Sorry I cant help more

Go to http://www.wikipedia.com type in alicate tram and see if you can make sense of things,I cant

From what I can make out of this, the tram line between Alicante and Benidorm was officially opened on the 2/6/08 and it runs between Mercado station and Benidorm station on line 1.
The approximate length of the route is one hour, has a frequency of 30 minutes and serves a total of five municipalities, Alicante, El Campello, La Vila Joiosa, Finestrat and Benidorm, but it will eventually serve Alicante, El Campelllo, La Vila Joiosa, Finestrat, Benidorm, Alfas del Pi, Altea, Calpe, Gata de Gorgos, Teulada, Benisa and Denia....and soon the university in Alicante and in the future, the airport.
This link is now out of date, they have obviously gone forward to Benidorm, passed Creueta, but there's some good photo's to click on showing the Linea 1 and Mercado station in Alicante.

Here's a map of Alicante, showing you where the Mercado station is and the "red line" or line 1 that now goes directly to Benidorm station.......also the point of where the airport bus stops.

Re: train to calpe

Used it last year but can't remember how long it took, could have been about 30/40 mins. Passes quick because of the scenery.

Re: Benidorm Train / Tram / El Trenet / FGV Services

The new Plaza de los Luceros station has now been officially opened in Alicante city centre. This is an extension to the line which previously terminated at Mercado Central. With direct services from Benidorm, Denia, Calpe, etc, Plaza de los Luceros may be a more convenient station for those on city centre shopping trips.

Re: Hotel Sol Ocas / Pelicanos, Benidorm

Hi Snowey.
I've never used the tram myself, so, I have asked....
Yes the tram goes all the way to Denia now, stopping at Calpe
Think it is line 9, every hour at 36 mins passed from Benidorm.

Congratulations on the 50th anniversary and the 70th milestone.

Re: Benidorm Train / Tram / El Trenet / FGV Services

Great news about the new station in Alicante, Is it a new station and does the trains/trams go into this station from the airport?

Does anyone know if the tram from Benidorm is direct or do you have to change on route. The reason I ask is when it was the train line (before the tram) about 7/8 years ago it was direct. When they were introducing the tram you used to have to change from the tram to the train nearer Alicante, made a big mistake one time by not changing because we didn`t know and we had to go back to Benidorm.

David I can`t get the link to work.

Hi Christine ... if it was the link in my post above, that was an old Costa Blanca News story from 2010. The link is no longer working so I have now removed it.

You will find info and timetables for the tram service here, services between Alicante City & Benidorm are direct:

Unfortunately the service does not extend to the airport.
