Vestibule of a Turista-class coach of AVE-102.010 set.
<p>
As on Talgo 7 sets, and unlike all previous Talgo stock, AVE-102s feature a folding, extra step.
<p>
This is to improve accessibility from platforms built to French standards (55cm-1ft10in), as is the case on Madrid-Seville. 
<br>
Conversely, this step will be useless on all subsequent HSLs, where all platforms mirror German standards (76cm-2ft6in).
