End-face of Class 598 001 DMU "TRD" (Tren Regional Diesel) of RENFE-Regionales, seen in Donostia-San Sebastian (Euzkadi, Guipuzkoa).
This Mk2 TRD has aerodynamic end-faces, unlike TRD 594s.
One can notice some resemblance with X72500s of SNCF.
Would-be AVE-120s (variable-gauge, 250kph, Mainline traffic) will have a very close outer aspect.
TRD 598s will run on fast regional services, primarily on routes already served with TRD 594s, which will be themselves displaced somewhere else.
These are probably the last DMUs ever ordered by RENFE.
