Project Aurora Rail is a ficticious carrier, with passenger and several freight contracts. 
its headquarters is in in mainland Europe, near to the channel tunnel, (this allows operations 
into the UK via the tunnel), operating a mixture of locomotive hauled sets and high speed trains.<br>
<br>
Seen here is one of modified Talgo sets which Project Aurora uses on spanish domestic services.  
based on the Talgo 21, the new Aurora sets have longer passenger cars than the Talgo 21 which 
provided the original prototype.  Passive tilting enables the light weight to give passengers 
a comfortable ride.<br>
<br>
seen in the livery of Aurora Spain, the talgo sets carry both spanish and english titles on the 
sides of the powercars.  The main route that the Talgo sets are used on is from Bilbao in the north 
of Spain, to Barcelona on the south coast, and further on to Lisbon in Portugal. <br>
