Latest news regarding rail to Machu Picchu--finished in June

Although there have been a number of conflicting reports on the railway repair, a report today by the new rail operators establish sometime in June for the entire repair. The concessionaire is saying sooner, but since the rail owners are the determining group relative to repair, I'm assuming the June date is more accurate.

Inca Rail, Andean Railways to reopen railway to Machu Picchu in June

Lima, Feb. 24.- The new operators Inca Rail and Andean Railways reported Wednesday that the total reopening of Cusco-Machu Picchu railway is scheduled for next June, which may coincide with the beginning of high season in this tourist area.

It should be noted that the concessionaire of the railway, Ferrocarril Trasandino (Fetransa), reported that the access of tourists to Machu Picchu by train would be available before April 1 due to the progress of restoration works.

This way there are only 10 kilometers left to be repaired in order to start operations in Aguas Calientes-Piscacucho stretch, which is part of the second phase of the programmed works.

When this stretch is finished, tourists can reach Machu Picchu Town by train, from Cusco or Ollantaytambo to Piscacucho by bus and from there to Aguas Calientes by train.

The third phase of the restoration works includes the Ollantaytambo – Piscacucho stretch.

I'm scheduled for May 18 and still planning on going, but it sounds as if they trip might be a bit longer and circuitous.

Any additional information that anyone has would be appreciated.
