This is the Talgo III consist which last ran on Talgo 460 "Mare Nostrum" (Cartagena-Cerbčre), on the last day of the Winter 1992/1993 Timetable.
<p>
The consist is seen in Madrid-Chamartin, awaiting departure on a revenue service to Cartagena. Whenever Talgo 374-377 (Madrid<->Barcelona) did not extend until Cerbčre/Portbou (viz. for the Winter Timetable less the Xmas and Easter peaks), the consists diagrammed on the "Mare Nostrum" would rotate with those running on Madrid-Cartagena or Murcia.
<p>
This diagram also applied to the TG1z-111 Generators, although these were useless on Madrid-Cartagena and Cartagena-Valencia, as Class 352s were in use on those segments...
<p>
Talgo 4 sets displaced from Madrid-Cadix, Madrid-Santander and Madrid-Gijon were diagrammed on the "Mare Nostrum" (and Talgo 374-377) from the Summer 1993 Timetable, for 5 years.
<p>

Madrid-Chamartin.

22nd May 1993.
