SPAIN'S 310KMH FLAGSHIP HIGHSPEED TRAINS / RENFE AVE S103 VELARO REVIEW 

Absolutely agree 😂👍🏻

The airlines and the oil companies are too powerful in the United States to being able to develop such locomotive method.

Spain is #2 globally in high speed rail by kilometers, behind China. Spain is #2 globally in tourist visitors, so the airport, road, subway, and hotel infrastructure are excellent (France is the #1 tourist destination).

@@dosgos I'd take Spain over France any day 😅

@@NonstopEurotrip Imagine not xd. Nice video by the way.

Wow yes a very different experience I'd imagine!!! 😁

Spain has the 2nd largest hst network in the world

Completely agree 😊

@Paseos por Madrid, you may not think that the Amtrak Acela is fast, but for the part of the United States it's travelling on, it's fast enough to qualify as HSR on the sections that allow for said high speed. It could be worse; America could have no passenger railway at all, like Mexico does.

@@f.baraka878 hahah hit a bare nerve uh? Please think twice before spreading your nationalistic bullshit propaganda and misinformation. High speed technology in Italy is one of the most advanced in the world since it is exported all over the world, you surely can’t say the same for Spain, also you can see the quality in the way that the italian high speed trains are designed to service all Europe, not just Italy, in fact the Frecciarossa is already operating some routes in France, and also generally being regarded as nicer and more confortable than the local trains. Another thing is the Frecciarossa being designed to operate at 400 km/hr but the ministry of transport hasn’t given the clearance yet, don’t exist anything like that in Spain. And for last thing you have to consider the geograpy of the countries, in Spain is much easir to build the railways because it has many more plains while Italy is almost entirely mountainous whit just one big plain in the north and another much smaller in the deep south, so to Build any railway you have to bore several kilometers of deep tunnels in the mountains making it very expensive and difficult, so you can see that a lot of routes running through the appennini in central Italy are truly an engineering marvel. Other than that by being really narrow there isn’t really actually much physical space to build more, and most places are already well served by the existing network so there isn’t much need either. and how can we not say that it is efficient if it is the country where NTV opened with the Italo train, that is the first private high-speed operator in the world? Actually doing really well and being profitable. If I may ask you a personal question, why all this animosity towards Italy? What have they done to you so bad that you are so angry? Just chill out a little

@@f.baraka878 am I rude? Its you that started insulting dude, but I’m sorry if i was a bit aggressive or if i offended you. I’ll re-explain it, the trains made by Ansaldo Breda were exported all over the world, as well as the pendolino technology developed by Fiat to make tilting trains, so the first and only patent about it is Italian, plz let me know when Spain has this patent. And also how Spain with more sparsed mountains on a larger territory compare with central Italy that is completely mountainous? So if want to build a railway there, mountains are always in the way, while that is not the case in Spain, Here is a small piece of railway section That is not even one of the longest and with the most galleries ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RhvfoGz6pfQ.html And also as i said before, the central body being narrow there isn’t much physical space to build too much more infrastructures, and need to be noted that everything build there need to be done with extra care since it is a really earthquake prone area And what are you boasting about anyway? Having some high speed trains and all others still running on diesel locomotives? And what i was talking about in the other comment is that Trenitalia is actually one of the few companies planning to expand its service all around Europe and not just in Italy as you can see here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Op-pQqbwkw0.html And this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-38G2pNV7gUo.html And will be opened much more soon. And it is not even the only operator, there is also Italo that is also first private high speed operator in the world, opened and operated without the need of any public fund. While how many companies do you have in Spain? And the Spanish railway company how is doing? Doing well and being profitable? Im not boasting about anything if you ask, and I don’t have absolutely anything against Spain, (Maybe except doing a repression so hard and severe in Catalunya, and continuing to persecute it’s former president) I wrote this just to clarify and not out of animosity, and also surely not to prove who is superior and who sucks just for a need to assert dominance, because that is one of the most stupid and silliest discussion that just kids in kindergarten could do. If you are happy with the Spain infrastructures, good for you! can't you just be happy for that? Why do you need to say that being compared to the Italian is an insult? Why do you need to belittle the work of others to feel better about yourself? That is a clear sign of lack of confidence. But anyway, you are free to think whatever you want, and I’m not interested to continue this discussion any further

They can be great value, but also very expensive for last minute bookings. All Spanish long-distance and high-speed trains include a free local transfer at both ends by tram or local train for free. Renfe have since completely overhauled their classes and booking system recently, so it's all different now!

Absolutely yes 😁

Same to you 😁

You're very welcome Donald, glad you enjoyed it ☺️👍🏻

That's why in Spain are always punctual.

Lolol 😂

Oh absolutely 😌

I think Madrid is much more elegant

Ok

I prefer Barcelona too 😁

Both Madrid and Barcelona are great

I prefer Madrid, both great cities but certainly not my fave in Europe

Thank you mate I know you like high-speed trains and an glad you enjoyed this! I had lunch with Dylan today and I showed him this lovely comment, thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you Scott! These are my second favourite train in Europe, pretty much perfect 😃🙏🏻

@@NonstopEurotrip Thank you Max. We really are train enthusiasts! Merry Christmas and all the best for a bright and happy New Year😀😀♥️♥️🎄🎄

@@scottyerkes1867 You too Scott 🙏🏻🎄

One day 🙏🏻😁

Ah thanks, yes I enjoyed it and they're great trains! 👍🏻🇪🇦

@@NonstopEurotrip 😊🤗

Thank you Miguel ☺️

Absolutely!

I know! I've been on one before in the Northwest of Spain 😁

Ummm... when?

@@NonstopEurotrip the current goal is trains running on the initial segment in the Central Valley, between Merced and Bakersfield, by the end of this decade, so around 2029 (HSR will connect with existing transit that’ll go to and from SF/Sacramento and LA). An interim operator will run the trains while the HSR route continues being built to SF and LA.

Oh wow amazing 😂

I loved travelled in Ukraine. Have you seen my videos? I especially enjoyed the Tarpan Kyiv-Odessa 😍 Hopefully one day you can ride a 300kmh train 🙏🏻😄

Hopefully soon 🙏🏻

Hope you enjoyed it Pam... Have a great trip 😁

Thank you Rahill! Full service is definitely back on now. These are the best trains in Spain imo 😄

S103 yes, but otherwise Iryo for me 😁

Thanks! Yeah I think I'd only chose AVE if I was wanting full service first class, otherwise I'd probably chose Avlo too Matthew 👍🏻

Happy new year!

Thank you, best 2022 to you too 🙂

'First Class Rob' as you shall be known 😂

@@NonstopEurotrip … I’ve worked very hard and put myself through school without help, had a great career in healthcare. Did without all through it. Now I’m going to enjoy the fruits of all that. 😉👍🏻

😍😍😍😍😍😍

It will be next year now 😊

@@NonstopEurotrip Thanks!

Thanks; glad to be of help! 🙏🏻

Not had any problems with the ones I've been on! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

Yeah I wasn't quite sure what happened either! I thought the line was to be 350kmh capable

@@NonstopEurotrip It's built for 350km/h but limited to 300km/h due to the signalling system.

@@CityWhisperer or a little 310 😂

ERTMS level 2 was taken down due to problems with the GSM-R. It was redeveloped and currently undergoing testing, it is supposed to be back online in 2022. But speed will remain at 300kmh due to energy eficiency and maintenance reasons. Going above 300kmh greatly increases the maintenance cost and consumes a lot of energy, so ADIF will not allow it.

@@mrschrodingerdog thanks for the information! 🙏🏻

Got some more still to come soon ☺️

In the past it was 100% of the ticket

Thank you!!! And I've been on the Montserrat Cremallera, it's an early video of mine 😁🇪🇦

@@NonstopEurotrip Didn't watch yet, I will do it asap. Thank you.

It was shut off every time I was there last year! 😭

Yeah and not in Germany much 😂

Yeah very true!!

Excellent! Check out my many other high-speed European videos! 🙂

I'm sure you'll have great fun Michael 🙂

I can't wait for Iryo, Spain is gonna have crazy good choices, best in the world! Now I've got my head around the new tickets, they do make sense!

I do, sometimes not as fast as other times though 🙏🏻😂

Love that! 😀😀😀

Great isn't it 😌

@@NonstopEurotrip I completely agree

I haven't found this 🤣

Many thanks!

Nice routes! 😊

It's all central Spain. Go somewhere else and you will see the difference

Gracias amigo 🙏🏻

The cafeteria reopened in July.

As mentioned in the video ☺️

They always said Joaquín Sorolla was meant to be temporary... How many years ago 🤣

Haha agree Liam 😁

Usually isn't!

Thanks Westy! If you want first class, I'd chose it. Otherwise it's Avlo for me 😄

I just booked the AVE flagship today for November for just $10.00 US. Very pleased and was less than a comparable time of Avlo and Ouigo trains. Go Figure?

Because there's no Transocean railway yet.

@@frankieseward8667 He obviously means on this route.

Especially with the low cost options now!

Same trains, yes!

This one was built in Spain by Siemens and Talgo

Yes it's me that loves Zaragoza 😂 First Class AVE for me too Mark (normally!)

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Not bad is it 😀👍🏻

Gracias amigo 🙏🏻

¡Sí, son trenes muy increíbles! ¡Espero que puedas volver a hacerlo algún día!

Thank you!! The train on the left at Atocha is the AVE S100, the Spanish TGV. See my review here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-53pfZWM8hzs.html

Exactly yes 😂

This one was made in Spain by Siemens and Talgo

Thank you! Cheers!

Gracias amigo 🙏🏻

It depends on the queue, but I was through in 2 mins. I'd arrive 30-45 mins before departure and then you can board nearly immediately.

Thanks Theo 😁

And these aren't even the cheap ones 😂

I bet 🤣

Thank you 🙏🏻

Yes, but it's not guaranteed.

Thanks! 😃😃😃

I've been to França many time, stunning!

Shame it doesn't actually do it 🤣

Both, but it'll be much cheaper online in advance!

Thank you Tony! 😁

Velaro definitely

Absolutely 😁

Nope, as explained

Thanks 👍🏻

Oh absolutely 😊

Yes!

@@NonstopEurotrip What about noise level

Click the link in the first line of the description of this video! 👍🏻

@@NonstopEurotrip checked. Pretty expensive. Tts why I asked here

@@samnoah2961 You need to book 4-8 weeks or more in advance for the best prices. Also check out trainline.com

Very smooth slopes are achieved, in addition to tunnels, building aerial sections that pass over some valleys at a height of 40-50 meters. The Madrid-Lisbon AVE was budgeted and almost be approved, but finally it was considered a higher priority to get the airport out of the center of Lisbon.

@ Thanks for the infos!

And Spanish trains 😂 While you can't currently take a direct or fast train between Lisbon and Madrid, the idea has been talked about more lately again and will probably happen later this decade. Most of the infrastructure is there for at least a 200-250kmh service with some upgrades here and there...

@@NonstopEurotrip Well, that would be a great idea! 😄 I also wished there were ICE's driving down to Italy, although there is this Swiss Pendolino on the Milan-Franfurt section...

@@thomasmeyer1408 I know they are spanish, but I meant that they remind me of german,... trains, obviously they are in spain so they are spanish but I don't really know this place! :)

Unless the Ouigo brings down the catenary like a few weeks ago 😆

I know, eek 😁

Is it not becoming a saturated market?

@@s125ish Not yet. The Madrid-Barcelona line is extremely busy. Demand is insatiable.

It has 45% of iryo shares. 55% is Spanish

🤔

@@NonstopEurotrip what does this mean

@@raptor4906 Sorry, I didn't understand your comment!

Basque 'y' is the colloquial designation of the projected high speed rail lines in the Basque Country linking San Sebastián, Bilbao and Vitoria. (The three cities form a kind of triangle, hence the rail line looks like a Y). It is not yet operational.

Proof of purchase

@@NonstopEurotrip yes I have ticket 🎟 from station I did not know that I had rights to compensation

'GPS Speedo' on android

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks you 😌

There was plans to have Glasgow and Edinburgh to Paris etc but was shelved. Low cost airlines don’t help

That's a good thing 🙂

@@NonstopEurotrip but in the second class we have stuff seats in the renfe are leather seats that is very cool.

Guide dogs etc are always carried without problem, and free of charge of course. Also small animals under 10kg are usually the same

In spain we have some problems with dogs. They are everywhere, including dangerous ones. We are fed up with dogs attacking or killing people

@@pezazul2917 stop saying nonsense

@@pezazul2917 No, we don't, what the fuck are you talking about???

yes, service animal are common, expecially dogs

Except the 300kmh 😉

Same train model 👍🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻

@@NonstopEurotrip OK!

😀 😀 😀

Yep 😂

Our German technology is everywhere 😇

@@schaerfentiefe1967 Spanish train technology is on par with the German. Spanish made trains can be found in many countries in the world
