Did I say drone? Was meant to say a seagull grabbed my camera whilst it was on record 👀😬

Mega traction!!

Would say it’s an Aldi version given how cheap they are to ride, but the Avant S121 also exists 💀😭

Isn’t that one of the 20 year old ones? Granted that one looks just as battered as the 50 year old ones 😭

Yep, but tbh it’s not that great. Never really found it great on Velaros tbh (except the AVE S103)
comment in response to post
It absolutely destroyed me by the end of it 😭 But I really enjoyed it all the same - the weather was great for it too!

And another - this time the red ÖBB version we all know and love…

Class 800 seats for first? Just as well it’s declassified now!
comment in response to post
Oh yeah for sure, the 350s and 250s I’ve had fun riding exactly for that reason. The Avrils are my problem as the roughness and seat quality are 10x worse though 😭

This is also first

Just be prepared to deal with Renfe and Adif’s nonsense, otherwise it’s great fun 😅

Required for haulage, no longer required for sight 😆

Filmed it, but it’s either I release this or Madrid-Toledo I filmed a few years back which uses the same stock. Still TBD
comment in response to post
Same, I remember looking them up after I saw them a few years back thinking they were new despite having been made in the early 2000s. Crazy!

That is one thing that has surprised me throughout my visits to Spain’s railway network - largest high speed network in Europe yet it seems nowhere near as utilised as it should be as there’s a huge gap in rolling stock provision
