Train between Madrid and Oviedo

I heard it mentioned somewhere that in the later half of 2024 the travel time between these destinations would be reduced even further than the previous reduction from the new tunnel opening. However I can’t find any information validating that. Anyone know anything?

Also, it appears there are about 3 trips a day on this route. Any chance they increase that as well?

I am traveling in late October and this info would be helpful.

Trains tend to be infrequent in Spain out of the Madrid-Barcelona-Valencia and Madrid-Sevilla routes, so I don't think frequencies will increase much.
The current time is 3:15, the new tunnel has opened late last year, unsure what are the further upgrades to be expected, but I don't think it can be more than a few minutes.

There are frequent buses (ALSA) but it's a long trip - 5 and a half hours-ish.
