Refurbished Class 448 (448R) of RENFE-Regionales, seen on Catalunya Expres 5072 (Figueres--->Barcelona Sants), at its final destination.
<p>
Prior to arrival, the public address system had played a very comprehensive pre-recorded announcement, in Castilian and Catalan, for <A HREF="http://campus.uab.es/~2116797/tmp/enf448RSant.mp3">50sec</A>.
<p>
Original seats have remained, but refurbishment has brought ambience in line with Regionales standards. 
<br>
Preferente accommodation and the Cafeteria area have gone, unsurprisingly.
