Renfe has reported that the Talgo Avril trains are not running this January 1 due to “a computer incident.” The company has communicated that it is “relocating all travelers to other compositions to guarantee their mobility” and that passengers will be informed of “changes that affect their trip.” The S106 manufactured by Talgo operates between Madrid and Galicia, Madrid and Asturias, and Madrid and València, among others.
Adif has explained that the series 106 trains “are useless” due to a “technical incident”, although it does not clarify what it is. In its latest update, it specifies that Avlo train 00151 is delayed by 1 hour and 22 minutes; the 4280 between Gijón and Chamartín is delayed 1 hour and four minutes; and 05721 Castellón – Gijón has been eliminated originally, so an alternative road transport plan has been established to the València Joaquín Sorolla station.
In addition, the line that connects Madrid and Galicia and Madrid-Asturias accumulates average delays of one hour. Madrid-Zaragoza-Barcelona registers average delays of 20 minutes and in the case of the Madrid-Valencia-Alicante-Murcia line the delay is half an hour.
The problems in the new Avril trains have been a constant since their incorporation. In the summer, Renfe communicated its intention to request financial compensation from Talgo for the continuous problems of the S106, an acronym for High Speed Light Independent Wheel.
At that time they explained that they had asked “repeatedly, both the management and the shareholders of Talgo, for an immediate solution to these incidents that have been reproduced since the first day of train circulation, last May 21.” “Aside from this action, Renfe’s technical teams are analyzing and preparing a reliability report on the global operation of the Talgo Series 106, with the aim of taking the appropriate operational adjustment measures in the event of incidents that have occurred since its commissioning. march,” said that statement.
