- Our today’s plan is to bring to a conclusion the story of the Spanish railways - by discussing the development and evolution of the AVE trains (of course, we did not miss the opportunity to mention other trainsets that also operate on the AVE network).
This episode is interesting because we talk about different manufacturers that produce the rolling stock for the Spanish market, but also the open architecture of the Spanish HSR tracks and structures, that allow the use of those different manufacturers.
This is actually quite different from the approaches of the majority of HSR countries, where the infrastructure is designed to work with only one, or a specific type of manufacturer.
As we pointed out in the last episode, most of the HSR network in Spain is covered by the ERTMS system, so almost all trains, in addition to the Spanish train management system, also have an onboard ERTMS device. Some of them also operate in France.
We spoke about the design and performance of the Renfe Classes 100, 101, 102, 112, 103, 106, Avant S-104, S-114, S-121, Alvia S-120, S-130, and S-730.
