Late last year I discovered, incidentally, schedules of trains between Madrid and Valladolid in 2007. At that time I wrote an entry on the "evolution" that had experienced these trains: In three years the price of the train had gone cheaper over 50% while increased travel time in fifteen minutes. I never know how you mounted the Renfe to announce this incredible "improvement" without being dropped their heads in shame.
What I have found it otherwise. Not nearly as interesting, but something flashy. These days Renfe is announcing that from day 29 will be a new train between Salamanca and Zaragoza. What Renfe not being advertised so much that the new train does not go there to complement the Talgo had before, but to replace it. And, of course, what silent as prostitutes is that replacing the Talgo train is a Middle Distance . That, yes, despite being a regional (perfect for travel six hours) will cost the same as the Talgo. That, for this is new!
But this, as everything has a reason. In 2009 Renfe spent 6,000 million euros to ensure you have " the modern train fleet in Europe . It will, perhaps, because we are the richest country in Europe. But of course, to have the most modern fleet is not enough to have new trains, we must get rid of the old. First of old old, those who lined up exceeded two miles long, waiting for you to buy someone who wants to have trains running and not breaking records. And now, those who remain. This week Renfe has begun to train with less scrap 20 years. For those who do not know, as the Minister of Development and rabble well, the shelf life of a train is around 40. scrapped trains have not served half of his life only to make room for more trains and little money to be with commissions is negligible. Pretender justified by propaganda against the old trains is repugnant. Doing it in the middle of a crisis, spending millions while cutting money where it really needed, just a name.
