Renfe launches high-speed Talgo trains

The new high-speed trains, manufactured by Talgo, will make travel to northwest Spain fast and convenient, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

It is planned that the first 10 trains of the S106 series will begin operating from May 21, 2024, in the Asturias region, reducing travel time from the central part of the country to Oviedo and Gijón.

This will also serve as a new link between Asturias and Galicia, including the cities of Vigo, Pontevedra, La Coruña, and Santiago de Compostela.

In the future, the S106 trains will serve passengers in Madrid, León, and other regions, reducing travel time by 15–18 minutes.

This purchase is part of Renfe’s large investment program in updating its rolling stock, amounting to over 5 billion euros.

The ordered trains are designed to carry more than 500 passengers and are equipped with modern amenities such as touch screens and other services.
