As series 130 the designated Spanish railway company Renfe a series of 45 umspurbaren high-speed trains . The trains manufactured by a consortium of Talgo and Bombardier are also known as Talgo 250 . Due to the visual similarity to the Talgo 350 (Pato), this train is also known colloquially as Patito (in German : "little duck").

technology

Class 130 in the Valdestillas gauge changing facility

Each train consists of two power cars that were developed by Talgo in collaboration with Bombardier . In between there are eleven low-floor (floor height of 760 mm) type Talgo  7 cars . The end cars and the train are connected with socket couplings, but the end wagons are prepared for the installation of side buffers and screw couplings.

They reach a maximum speed of 250 km / h under 25 kV alternating voltage and 200 km / h under 3 kV direct voltage . The trains can pass gauge changing facilities at a speed of 15 km / h. A special feature is that the power cars can also be re-tracked.

The trains are equipped with a number of train control systems ( ETCS Level 1 and ETCS Level 2 , LZB and ASFA ) and can therefore be freely used on the existing and high-speed rail network in Spain.

The interior of the Talgo end and middle cars corresponds to that of the other Talgo 7 seat car units, at least in the early days middle cars were also used in locomotive-hauled Talgo units.

history

procurement

Rigid coupling between powered end car (left) and Talgo end car

At two meetings at the end of February and beginning of March 2004, the RENFE Board of Directors decided to procure 141 additional high-speed trains, including 26 Talgo 250 trains. Including a maintenance contract, the contract was worth 377 million euros. Talgo's share of production was put at 88 million euros. The contract was officially announced about two months later. The power cars were new builds, and for the wagon trains, existing Talgo 7 units that were only a few years old were used for the most part. While the intermediate cars essentially only had to be provided with the roof line, the conversion work for the end cars was significantly greater. The push-pull train control was omitted, the front wall windows and the front and rear signal lamps were removed and locked, the regulating screw couplings and side buffers were replaced by the rigid coupling. In addition, the end cars were given streamlined roof structures for connection to the higher power cars and also the roof line. The double line connections that were no longer needed were dismantled.

business

The units were used from November 6, 2007 in scheduled operation on the (broad-gauge) line Madrid - Valladolid - Gijón . Since the new regular - gauge Madrid – Valladolid line went into operation , it has been frequented daily by eight pairs of Talgo 250 trains under the generic name Alvia , which are operated via the existing broad gauge network and the like. a. also connect Santander , Bilbao and Irún directly to the state capital. The units are now running on the entire electrified Spanish main route network, including routes such as Barcelona – Alicante, where initially no lane change was necessary. Here they replaced the class 101 multiple units in the Euromed service in 2009 .

In summer 2009 it was reported that a prototype was being developed from the Talgo 250 under the name Talgo 300 RD, which should be designed for speeds of up to 300 km / h. (As of July 2009)
