<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1159">19:19</a> the train that you see from the windows and also in Gijon are narrow gauge (1000mm). The north of Spain truly is a blend of gauges, sadly these lines do not experience much investment so they are bad (although scenic) regional trains and barely good enough commuter trains. The green train at Oviedo is a tourist luxury service, Transcantabrico or Costa Verde Express

Used the Euskotren & FEVE network in Northern Spain. Travelling from Bilbao to Santander our train stopped at a station & the driver told us we were going no further as he had to take the train back to Bilbao as the train from Santander had been cancelled. We had to get on a minibus that appeared from nowhere, calling at every station until we arrived at a station in the Santander commuter network where we were told to get on another train to complete our journey. It was quite an adventure...

The major Talgo advantage is: Short 12m body allowing 3.2m wide body (China wide standard) - allow 3+2 in 2nd class & 2+2 in 1st Class - same as China And all Talgo trains have natural tilting as standard, no pneumatic / electronic sensors / actuation! Just let it tlit! Low cost, totally reliable tliting! Great for curvy tracks, like Bordeaux - Nantes - Rennes (Which LeTrain of France also buys this train type!)

You may love or hate Talgo, but with its gauge-changing capability it's vital for Spain, though this comes at the expense of ride quality (pairs of single wheels don't do their job the same way as the bogies - and that's also why they must be hauled by locos instead of distributed power, which is probably also incompatible with single wheels). Your table was probably (even) more shaky because the seat in front of you looked unoccupied: some weight on it would stabilize it a little. What I don't understand are the Ryanairish seats in the 1st class (or whatever they call it). By the way, is this Talgo also tilting like the previous versions?

WIth a conventional bogie/truck attachment point in the centre of its wheelbase, when one wheel drops into a short 1mm depression on the railhead the car body only drops half that as the truck pivots vertically on its other axle. With Talgo tech the car body experiences the full extent of the irregularity. Perhaps one day they'll smooth it out with active suspension. The video didn't mention the 100% level floor throughout the passenger accommodation, with level boarding at every public door from 760mm platforms, standard on Spanish HS lines. This is also enabled by Talgo tech which not only avoids bogies (except end cars and power heads), but uses independently suspended wheels on little stub axles rather than conventional wheelsets linked by axles. The floor of the inter-car passageway actually passes between the tops of the wheel discs. Talgo claims they can also build this train for level boarding at 550mm platforms, again with continuous low floor throughout. Alstom are also sticking with end power car configuration, after their AGV didn't appeal to SNCF. The manufacturer now claims centralisation of the lightweight modern traction equipment is substantially cheaper than distributed throughout the train. It is lighter overall, far less complex, easier to maintain and thus more reliable, they say. Other companies like Stadler have concentrated traction equipment into specific areas on a small number of cars, in some of their designs mostly in the pursuit of continuous low floors along as much of the train as possible.

Considering that, except the fully high speed lines, all remaining railways in Spain are in shambles and train services are practically non-existent, it just doesn't make sense that they decided to build the Northern high speed lines in Iberian gauge... (They were literally built from scratch). It sounds more like they did so to prevent French or Italian competition, since they won't likely invest in Talgo trains (which suck) just to run less profitable services to the North

First hand experience from yesterday evening: I used the Avril Avlo service from Zaragoza to Madrid. Uneventful and pleasant trip. Noise and shaking similar to that of the S130s, nothing extraordinary or too bad. Seats are a bit narrow and hard, they are the same model installed on other Avlo models. They are perfectly ok for a low-cost service under 2 hours. The interior is nice and the train is roomy and well distributed. Overall, a modern high capacity , high speed train which is ideal for low cost services and trips under 3 hours (the majority in Spain). Honestly, I don’t understand why so much drama around this train. All Avrils will end up as Avlos eventually, when the new S-107 series (300 kmhr, gauge-changing narrow cabin "normal" Talgos) are delivered. Spanish Northwestern corridors and services into Portugal are going to need gauge-changing HSTs for several decades.

Something to be taken into account is this is not a "flagship" train (the Velaros on the Madrid-Barcelona line are) but a "workhorse" train, a higher capacity, faster, tri-tension, gauge-changing substitute of the Alvias that are the backbone of Spain's long distance rail services. Avrils are a swiss knife for the northwestern corridors that need fast, gauge-chaging trains. This a high speed train with basic comfort features, not a luxury train.

All the internal configuration depends on the operator, so LeTrain will configure it however it wants, I suppose it will look for its optimal layout for its market. Furthermore, it will not use the variable gauge version, so it will surely be very different in terms of suspension elements, etc. As for the ride quality, it is famous in the Talgos, but that train is the first version of the new evolution of the Avril cars. So I guess they will improve. Renfe on the high speed lines to the north is desperate to be able to complete the demand. So it is being searched *and this is the ONLY one that can do it given the specialty of changing gauge. There are no other builders in the world capable of fulfilling that contract, not even CAF. In any case, something that must be mentioned, the concept of the Talgo is that they are very light and they are really low cars, so any imperfection on the tracks may be more noticeable. The Avril is positioned as the most efficient high-speed train in the world. (If I remember correctly, it weighs less than 80-100 tons than a single floor TGV, that's a lot). ps: I forgot to mention, there is another train/operator with a 3+2 configuration in its second class, the Shinkansen, and for many many years. And for the same reason, capacity is sought, and this is achieved by making wider cars.

It will supposedly also be commercially competitive and a smoother ride on European single gauge track. So basically it will prove a great success for Avril and Renfe.

Screens on seats strike me as a huge waste of money. Screen on planes makes sense because you very often don't have an internet connection and your luggage is very limited (so it is convenient that you don't need to bring your tablet/laptop if you want a big screen). But on trains, stable WiFi with some cached content is the way to go. Mobiles work most of the time and you can easily put your tablet in the luggage, no one is weighting/measuring it.

I think the Talgo Avril that changes gauge is the one without the 'primary' suspension at the wheels (i.e. only has the bagged spring at the shared post between cars - a bit like a TGV). The older standard gauge-only highspeed Talgos have a primary suspension of 4 springs around the wheelset and are very smooth in comparison. It is possible that the Paris-Madrid trains could be standard-gauge only in the future when the LAV to Irun/Hendaye (Basque-Y) is completed. My favourite night train was the old Elipsos service between Paris and Madrid and they used very old Talgo 6 cars that were quite noisy and changed gauge at Hendaye.

One thing th tsome folks haven't comented on is the track. Track quality can affect ride quality. I appreciate that Talgo's have a bad reputation for ride quality, though my few expereinces (DB 'Nachtzug') were comfortable enough. The seat-back info/entertainment screen strikes me as a 'take it or leave it' scenario. The less charitable might compare (unfairly) with British-built Hitachi class 800 series seats - hard as 'ironing-boards'! I like the look of these new Avril train sets. They may need refinement over time, but methinks they're here for the 'long haul' (no pun fully intended!!).

I do hope the S107 (With Ex TrenHotel Talgo VII sets) will be much better while having the same powercar as the S106 is a totally diferent train think it as TGV POS but in Spain. Congrats on your video (:

It was a big challenge for Alstom to make the double deck TGVs. SCNF wanted extra capacitry and got it via Duplex. Since the bogies between cars have 2 axles, Alstom has a bit more flexibility on weight of each car. But for Talgo, with single axle between cars, it can't go "Duplex" as it would be too heavy on the bogie, so they widened it to allow 3+2 to please accountants who care only about how many tickers sold and not interested in whether passengers like it or now. When you have a monopoly on a route that requires gauge changing, you can afford to make coach seating bad since you won't lose passengers to a competitor.

These seats are… something. They are way too thin for a normal long distance service, let alone the first class of a HIGH SPEED TRAIN. I would kinda get it if it was something like “premium economy/turista plus” and then feature another first class with 2+1 and a thicker seat. Also that colour does them no favour. I would propose running them as Avlo on Barcelona-Madrid line or some other busier lines like Madrid-Valencia due to their immense capacity. The only AVE services I would keep with them running would be these cross gauge routes, but also something that isn’t AVE, but would work with Avrils is Barcelona-Valencia.

One final note: I noticed that even the table seats in standard class have those entertainment screens, protruding like a sore thumb and eating useful space. The S106 seems to be a "greatest hits" of all of the bad things RENFE thinks are good in railways: capacity at all costs, terrible seats, gimmicky stuff all over the place, etc. Sure, it can run up to 330km/h, but with that ride quality? (And offering earplugs on a train? Never seen that before. I wonder why...) It's impressive how fast you managed to put this video out, Thibault! It's also one of your best ones. Great work.

Although the critisism is understandable, these train makes perfectly sense as Renfe where desperately in need of a highspeed train that can change from standard to 1520 and Iberirian 1610 gauge as the previous rolling stock were dated, less capacity despide the extreme high demands and limited to 250km/h. These trainset are the first in the world capable of doing that while going 330km/h. More so these train will be improved as the train should have been running in early 2016 but yeah delays. Also

3+2 seating in Second Class and 2+2 in First Class is completely okay... if the train is wide enough for it. At 320 cm wide, I think they're too narrow to do that. The Shinkansen trains are 336 to 338 cm wide, and they can get away with it. But that's almost 20 cm wider, or 4 centimeters per person, which is quite significant. Add to that the bumpy ride and uncomfortable seats, and yeah... not exactly an amazing product. On the other hand, more seats in the width does also seem to translate to better seat pitch, and as a tall but slender person, I would actually prefer that!

Great video, was subconsciously waiting for this review funnily enough. I think Talgo needs to ditch the single axle wheelsets if they want to eliminate the shaking completely as its still reacting to brand new railway lines. The 3+2 seating looks really cramped for a flagship carrier and those seats looks like those ironing boards that we're all too familiar with here in the UK. Train set looks really cool from the outside, wondering if they could keep the existing power cars and design a new set of coaches for them. Great to see gauge changing trains hit 300kph in revenue service now.

A 3+2 Layout on a supposed premium product is just sad (even in 2nd class). 2+2 in 1st class isn't great either. It's a shame that little bit of extra width went towards capacity rather than comfort. The seats look very thinly padded and uncomfortable too. Might be fine on a regional train, but a high-speed long distance train? Coupled with the ride quality issues you pointed out this really does not look like a good experience. It also makes me a bit nervous about the German ICE developed by Talgo. I hope that one is a bit less shaky. 😬

Hello. Yes, Chamartín is undergoing a thorough and complete refurbishment. Just a quick note to improve the information on your video: iryo is owned by a Spanish company, ILSA, and Trenitalia has a share of 45 %, so it is not an Italian company as such. At some points, you should try and be more accurate in the information you provide on your videos. I've also noticed you have been more keen and prone to show the possible weak aspects of this Talgo train; I wonder whether it would be so too in the case of an Alstom train... By the way, the ride quality depends a lot on the tracks quality, not on the train itself.

Thank you for this interesting video. I like the earlier RENFE Talgo trains and was surprised that you found the ride so poor. As for the seats, they really are not good enough, especially when the AVRIL train sets are to be used on long distance runs. I certainly wouldn’t travel in 2nd Class on one of these trains. The 1st Class seats (Confort) also look horrible, and 2+2 arrangement is not good enough. Hopefully the units that will be used in France will have better seats in both 1st and 2nd Class ! As for the power car at each end of the train, this is probably a result of the very low floor of the Talgo cars being unable to have much machinery below the floor, as in the ICE3 for example. Anyway, the SNCF only have TGVs with power cars at each end ! I will,certainly try one of these AVRIL trains once they are running to Paris.

Buenas, ¿A nadie se le ha ocurrido pensar que gran parte del las vibraciones pueden deberse al mal estado de la vía? Hace unas semanas realicé un viaje de jornada entre Madrid y Zaragoza. Viaje en Iryo, Serie 109, Frecciarossa1000, a la ida y en Ave, serie 112 en el regreso. Los dos trenes se movían y oscilaban. Personalmente, la sensación que tuve es que Iryo era más silencioso y los movimientos no tan bruscos, pero las vibraciones y los movimientos estaban en los dos trenes. De todos modos, creo que todo el mundo acepta que Talgo tiene una menor calidad en el confort de marcha, y esto es así por la propia concepción del diseño del tren. Las ruedas libres, sin ejes, y no montadas en bogies hace que el sistema no sea capaz de absorber las irregularidades de la vía tan eficazmente como otros sistemas de rodaje. A cambio tenemos trenes accesibles, de piso bajo en toda la composición. Ligeros, que no maltratan el carril y capaces de pendular y cambiar de ancho de vía... Escoger un modelo de tren u otro dependerá de las necesidades del servicio y de la empresa explotadora...

Tiene pinta de que es una mezcla de ambos. Durante la fase de pruebas los trenes de rodadura desplazable (los que pueden alternar entre ancho internacional e ibérico) ya daban problemas de sobrecalentamiento en ejes, al igual que en el cambio de tensión entre 25000V CA y 3000V CC (Pero como es Renfe, pues...), no me extrañaría que estas cosas las hubieran dejado pasar. Por el otro lado los trenes de rodadura fija (solo ancho estandar) no estan dando problemas de vibracion, por lo que veo en videos.

on the 25 minute stop: normal for a new train but usually, problems surface after first days of service not on the very first day 😞. on 3+2 config: terrible. bigger question is whether others will follow like happened to 777 and 787 airplanes or Renfe will see people avoid those trains and revert to 2-2. on suspension: This is _apparently_ very light train with carbon fibre bogies (unless during development they reverted to steel bogies). But the bogies APPEAR to still be single axle between cars. (like the Turbo train we had in Canada in 1970s). A 2 axle bogie will halve the "bump" that each wheel/axle feels (but double the number of bumps). But it is much easier for suspension to suppress 2 small bumps vs 1 larger bump. And the gauge changing may also make it harder to dampen left/right motion. Would have expected that having a perfectly smooth ride was a technical requirement at 300kmh since at that speed, taking a bump the wrong way might cause the train to be launched into orbit around the planet. Apparentrly they sold to Le Train and hope to sell to other countries i Europe. Curious how the wider carriages will fit in various stations. Can understand how it can negotiate curves with wider but shorter cars, but it still needs to fit in a station with platforms.
