Deb and I have been to Seville before and it does not lose it's fascination. Since our previous visit the City has built a very small tram line, it's about 2.2kms, has five stops, three of which parallel the metro line and frankly seems an absurd waste of money. Deb, of all people, took this picture between Plaza Nueva and Archivo, part of this stretch is operated by battery power, as you can see, no catenary. June 2012. 4 begin this editorial with a warning: Do not believe everything you read in newspapers I or on the Internet! This rather obvious warning was predicated by the reading of the article at the end of this Correo, which was lifted from an English edition of El Pais. The article repeats the mistaken belief that some Dr Zhivago scenes were filmed around the great station at Canfranc. I had a nagging doubt while reading, what is otherwise an excellent article, and so had to sit through 3hrs of Dr Zhivago to check. The film was mostly filmed on the studio lot in the north of Madrid close to the later Barajas airport site. The plains to the north of the capital were used for most of the exterior shots (sometimes with artificial snow spread over several square miles), while most of the station shots were filmed at Madrid Delicias (where the railway museum is now). There is another notable station scene is where a haggard Omar Sharif appears out of the snow in a station and that was filmed at Soria. I’m sorry, but Canfranc simply does not appear in the film, and logically, why would any producer wish to move his production lock, stock and barrel several hundred miles north, up a single track, when there were plenty of locations around the capital. Back at the end of June I took the Elipsos train down to Madrid to see Talgo. I did get the factory tour, but was not allowed to take pictures inside. There I saw the troublesome Hybrid units, some Kazakh cars, Amtrak driving trailers and the shells for the new Avril power cars, which I will see completed at Innotrans in Berlin about the time you are reading this. I also saw interior designs for the new Saudi trains, which redefine the term ‘overspecified’ with their unnecessary opulence. Everyone was very friendly, but we still have a way to go in nailing a working specification. My trip in September will take in Dortmund, Berlin, Zürich and Roma, including 3 night trains in a week, and begins with an 04:00 alarm call so that I can catch the 06:50 Eurostar to Bruxelles. How I long for a night train from St Pancras…. Michael Guerra The one and only Talgo Travca locomotive outside the Las Matas factory north of Madrid. Its main reason for being was for the homologation of its variable gauge power bogies, which are now used under the Talgo 250 EMUs (RENFE Class 130). 5 Eastern Spain June 2012 – Part One Magalas to Cartagena By Chris Elliott bit like the early morning Intercité from Béziers to Clermond Ferrand which does A not stop at my local station Magalas on its way north in the morning but does on the way south back to Béziers in the evening, the early morning 08.08 TALGO from (Montpellier) Béziers destination Cartagena ends its journey at Cartagena, but the return train to Montpellier does not depart from Cartagena, just to confuse the passengers it starts from Lorca so any passengers heading for Barcelona and France have to take the 08.50 TALGO from Cartagena to Madrid and change at Murcia. The Montpellier bound TALGO starts in Lorca. Like my article in the summer 2010 edition of ‘Correo’ when I explained that living so close to the frontier I always seemed to have an excuse for not taking the train, and having seen off many friends on their journey south I had never travelled on this TALGO as far as Cartagena. The French part of the journey follows the classic route as far as Cerbere and hauled by a class electric loco type 7200. No ticket check, lots of announcements in French and Spanish and English, but no coffee! That all changes after passing through the gauge changing shed in Port Bou. A RENFE class 252 loco and a RENFE ticket collector who means business. He has a print out with all of the names or tickets of the passengers and their respective seats. That resulted in a number of young back packers having to move out of ‘Preferencia’ into ‘Turisitica’. The bar is then open and un café solo es possible!

This report presents the results of an analysis of the impact that international freight traffic barriers have on logistics, transit potential, and development of transport corridors traversing EAEU member states. The authors of EDB Centre for Integration Studies Report No. 49 maintain that, if current railway freight rates and Chinese railway subsidies remain in place, by 2020 container traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis may reach 250,000 FEU. At the same time, long-term freight traffic growth is restricted by a number of internal and external factors. The question is: What can be done to fully realise the existing trans-Eurasian transit potential? Removal of non-tariff and technical barriers is one of the key target areas. Restrictions discussed in this report include infrastructural (transport and logistical infrastructure), border/customs-related, and administrative/legal restrictions. The findings of a survey conducted among European consignors is a valuable source of information on these subjects. The authors present their recommendations regarding what can be done to remove the barriers that hamper international freight traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis.

  • The Tram-Train: Spanish Application
    © 2002 WIT Press, Ashurst Lodge, Southampton, SO40 7AA, UK. All rights reserved. Web: www.witpress.com Email [email protected] Paper from: Urban Transport VIII, LJ Sucharov and CA Brebbia (Editors). ISBN 1-85312-905-4 The tram-train: Spanish application M. Nova.les,A. Orro & M. R. Bugs.rin Transportation Group, Technical School of Civil Engineering, University ofLa Coruiia, Spain. Abstract The tram-train is a new urban transport system that was origimted in Germany in the 1990’s, and which is undergoing a great development at the moment, with studies for its establishment in several European cities. The tram-train concept consists of the operation of light rail vehicles that can run either by existing or new tramway tracks, or by existing railway tracks, so that the seMces of urban public transport can be extended towards the region over those tracks, with much lower costs than if a completely new line were built. The authors are developing a research project about the establishment of such a system in Madrid, which would involve the construction of a new light rail system in a suburban zone of the city, which could conned with Metro lines or with suburban lines of Renfe (National Railways Company). In this way, better communications would be achieved from this area towards the city centre. During the development of this project we have studied the European systems that are in service at the present time, as well as those that are in construction, in proje@ or in preliminary study phase. So, we have determined which are the critic issues of compatibilization, and horn these issues we have studied the particular characteristics of the Spanish case.
