AVE-102 002 set seen at the Talgo workshops in Las Matas, upon delivery by Talgo-Bombardier to RENFE-AVE.

Logos and brands are still missing.

These sets derive from the Talgo 350 Prototype, now owned by GIF/ADIF. They will primarily run on Madrid-Barcelona.

One can notice the transitional hump between the on top of the end-car, quite reminiscent of single deck TGVs. One can also see that this set is mounted on Vevey diplories so as to run on broad-gauge tracks.

November 2003.
