The Renfe Class 130 or S-130 [4] (Spanish: Serie 130 de Renfe, manufacturer's designation Talgo 250) is a high-speed dual-gauge, dual-voltage trainset consisting of 11 Talgo VII tilting coaches and two power cars, used on Alvia and Euromed services. [5] [6] [7] The class have been nicknamed patitos (ducklings), due to the shape of the train nose. [8]
The trainsets are designed for high-speed services on Iberian gauge (1,668 mm (5 ft 5+21⁄32 in)) and high-speed (1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in)) lines; they can change gauge at low speed without stopping using Talgo's RD variable gauge system. [9] The carriages are constructed from aluminium and incorporate the Talgo Pendular passive pendulum tilting system, [10] are sealed against pressure differences for tunnel travel, [1] and have underframe air conditioning, individual audio systems and video displays, rotating and reclining seats and power outlets. [3]
Capacity in standard class is 36 seated, in first class 26 seats, end coaches have lower capacity, one coach is typically used for restaurant/sales services. [1]
The power cars use AC traction motors controlled by IGBT inverters which include integrated auxiliary inverters. Signalling systems can include ETCS Level 2, LZB, ASFA and Ebicab900TBS. [11]
As of January 2010 they operated from Gijon/Oviedo via León, Palencia, Valladolid to Madrid with some trains extended to Alicante via Albacete; [12] [13] Santander via Palencia and Valladolid to Madrid, sometimes extended to Alicante; [13] [14] Madrid to Bilbao via Valladolid and Burgos; [13] [15] Madrid to San Sebastian/Irun via Valladolid, Burgos and Vitoria; [13] [16] Madrid to Alicante; [13] [17] Huelva and Cadiz [ citation needed ] and Madrid to Murcia.
Since January 2020 Renfe Class 130 operate on the Figueres-Alicante route via Girona, Barcelona, Camp de Tarragona, Castellón and Valencia for the Euromed services. [7]
On services such as Gijon-Madrid they have been replaced by Renfe Class 120 trainsets (2011). [8]
In order to extend high-quality services to parts of Spain not on the high-speed network Renfe acquired hybrid trains with both electric and diesel power [18] for delivery in 2012 for use from Madrid to Murcia and Galicia, built by Talgo and Bombardier, at a cost of 78 million euro. [19] The new trains based on the S-130 were initially coded S130H, later S730;
Fifteen sets S-130 units will be converted to hybrid operation. [20] [21] with two generator cars per set using MTU 12V 4000 R43L engines (1.8MW each). The top speed in diesel mode is 180 km/h (112 mph). Testing of the trains took place in 2011 with introduction into service expected in 2012. [22]
A gauge-changing train capable of over 250 km/h (155 mph) is in development and is based on the S-130. [23]
A version of the S130 for Uzbekistan Temir Yollari was ordered in 2009 for use on a Tashkent–Samarkand high-speed line. [24] Deliveries of the order of two trains began in July 2011. [25]
Two more sets were constructed in 2017, following expansion of the service. [26]
Talgo is a Spanish manufacturer of intercity, standard, and high-speed passenger trains. Talgo is an abbreviation of Tren Articulado Ligero Goicoechea Oriol
Alta Velocidad Española (AVE) is a high-speed rail service operated by Renfe, the Spanish State railway company.
High-speed railways in Spain are in operation since 1992 when the first line was opened connecting the cities of Madrid, Córdoba and Seville. Unlike the rest of the Iberian broad gauge network, the Spanish High-speed network mainly uses standard gauge. This permits direct connections to outside Spain through the link to the French network at the Perthus Tunnel. High-speed trains run on a network of high-speed rail track owned and managed by ADIF, where the dominant service is AVE while other high speed services such as Avant, Alvia, Avlo, Euromed, Ouigo España and Iryo, as well as mid-speed (Altaria) services also operate.
Euromed is a high-speed rail service operated by Renfe along the Spanish Mediterranean coast.
The Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line is a 621-kilometre (385.9 mi) standard gauge railway line inaugurated on 20 February 2008. Designed for speeds of 350 km/h (217.5 mph) and compatibility with neighbouring countries' rail systems, it connects the cities of Madrid and Barcelona in 2 hours 30 minutes. In Barcelona the line is connected with the Perpignan–Barcelona high-speed rail line leading into France which connects it to the European high speed network.
The Renfe Class 100 is a high-speed train used for AVE services by the Renfe Operadora, in Spain. It was the first high-speed train put into service in Spain, in 1992.
The Renfe Class 102 or S-102 is a high-speed train used for the AVE service and operated in Spain by the state-run railway company Renfe, and based on Bombardier Transportation's power car technology. Outside AVE service, Talgo markets this train as the Talgo 350.
The Renfe Series 333 are high power six-axle diesel-electric locomotives built in the 1970s; at the time of their introduction they were the most powerful non-electric locomotives in Spain.
The Renfe Class 353, formerly known as the T-3000 are a class of diesel-hydraulic locomotives built by Krauss-Maffei for express trains in Spain.
The Renfe Class 352 was a class of twin engined four axle diesel-hydraulic locomotives built by Krauss-Maffei, designed solely for passenger traffic; in particular they were responsible for towing Andalusian Talgo III trains. The class were very successful, heralding a new era of passenger trains in Spain. They were delivered in 1964 and 1965, and were fully withdrawn during the 1990s.
The Renfe Class 354 was a series of eight diesel hydraulic locomotives manufactured by Krauss-Maffei in Germany specifically to pull Talgo pendular coaches which were introduced shortly before the acquisition of these machines.
Alvia is a high-speed train service in Spain offered by Renfe Operadora on long-distance routes with a top speed of 250 km/h (160 mph). The trains have the ability to use both Iberian gauge and standard gauge, which allows them to travel on the recently constructed high-speed lines for part of the journey before switching to the "classic" Iberian gauge network to complete it. Trains that run exclusively on high-speed tracks are branded AVE or Avant.
The Renfe Class 120 are electric multiple units used on Alvia high-speed rail services in Spain.
The Madrid–Asturias high-speed rail line connects the city of Madrid with the autonomous community of Asturias and was inaugurated on 29 November 2023. The line is built to standard gauge and gauge changers are provided at strategic points to allow interchange with older Spanish railways which were built to Iberian gauge.
El tren Estrella was a conventional overnight railway service provided in Spain by the national rail network operator RENFE until April 2015. Services left most major Spanish cities in the evening and usually arrived at their destination the following morning.
The Renfe Class 730 or S-730 is a high-speed dual-gauge, dual-voltage and hybrid trainset consisting of 9 Talgo VII tilting coaches, two intermediate diesel-generator cars and two head electric power cars, used on Alvia services. The class have been nicknamed patitos, due to the shape of the train nose. They are a variant of RENFE Class 130 modified to be able to run on both electric and diesel power, in order to extend higher-quality services to parts of Spain not on the electrified network.
The Madrid–Galicia high-speed rail line is a high-speed railway line in Spain that links the city of Madrid with the region of Galicia via the cities of Olmedo, Zamora, Ourense and Santiago de Compostela. The line also connects the Atlantic Axis high-speed rail line to the rest of the Spanish AVE high-speed network. The Madrid–Galicia high-speed rail line is constructed as double electrified line and is designed for trains running at speeds up to 350 kilometres per hour (220 mph).
An electro-diesel multiple unit (EDMU) or bi-mode multiple unit (BMU) is a form of a multiple unit train that can be powered either by electric power picked up from the overhead lines or third rail or by using an onboard diesel engine, driving an electric generator, which produces alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) electric power.
CAF Sepia is a family of high-speed electric multiple unit trains built by CAF and used in Spain and Turkey. The Sepia is based on the Class 120 high-speed trains manufactured by CAF for the Renfe Operadora (Renfe). The Renfe Operadora was the first to order CAF high speed trains; it ordered 12 of these units in 2001, the Turkish State Railways (TCDD) 12 units. The trains were delivered in 2004 for service. The trains were labelled and marketed as the Sepia by their manufacturer, CAF.
Avant is a high-speed, medium-distance passenger transport rail service, operated in Spain by the Spanish public company Renfe. Avant services circulate at a maximum speed of 250 km/h, compared to the 300 km/h maximum speed of the AVE service. Their routes usually cover different provinces within the same autonomous community or between neighboring ones. Regional services at conventional speed are called Renfe Media Distancia.
