#talgo — Public Fediverse posts

We are on the new DSB Talgo train to Copenhagen. Absolutely nothing works. Not even coffee machines. Wagon numbers are scribbled on pieces of paper. Seats are double booked. At least we left Hamburg.

PS. It is good that nothing works because conductors stopped caring and we actually have reservations for the next train 👀

@Pepijn I will entertain you with a (probably) not very solid source: Last time I went home from Hamburg (in May), on a #DSB #Talgo, the Danish cleaning person on the train, wearing a DSB uniform, said that DSB wanted to return their shitty Talgos and have them replaced with "the German variant" (whatever that means, could be your scenario).

The Betrayal of Goicoechea: How One Engineer Helped Change the Fate of Bilbao

Dear Cherubs,

Sometimes history doesn’t turn on massive battles or dramatic speeches. Sometimes it hinges on one person quietly walking into the wrong camp with a folder full of secrets. Low-key, that’s exactly why the story of Alejandro Goicoechea still sparks debate nearly ninety years later.

During the Spanish Civil War, Goicoechea was one of the engineers involved in developing Bilbao’s famous Iron Belt, an extensive defensive network designed to protect the city from Franco’s advancing forces. Then, in February 1937, he crossed the front line and joined the Nationalist side, reportedly taking valuable information about the defensive system with him. According to the Royal Academy of History and several historical studies, this remains one of the conflict’s most controversial defections.

THE IRON BELT

The Iron Belt was never intended to be a magical shield. It consisted of bunkers, trenches, machine-gun positions and concrete fortifications surrounding Bilbao. Even before Goicoechea defected, construction delays, shortages of materials and incomplete sections had already weakened the project.

Still, his departure mattered. Historians generally agree that the plans he carried revealed vulnerable sections of the defenses, allowing Nationalist commanders to better prepare their assault. According to historical research, Franco’s forces broke through the Iron Belt in June 1937, and Bilbao fell only days later.

Was Goicoechea solely responsible? Not really. Wars are rarely that simple. Superior artillery, air power—especially support from the German Condor Legion—and the overall military situation all played decisive roles. Blaming a single man for an entire campaign is tempting because it makes history easier to digest. Reality, unfortunately, didn’t get that memo.

A LEGACY DIVIDED

For many Basques and supporters of the Republican cause, Goicoechea became the textbook definition of betrayal. His name remains closely associated with the collapse of Bilbao’s defenses, and countless historical accounts describe his actions as a turning point.

Yet his story didn’t end there. After the war, Goicoechea became one of the engineers behind the development of the TALGO train, an innovation that transformed railway travel in Spain and later gained international recognition. It’s giving “history’s most awkward résumé”: remembered by some as a brilliant engineer, by others as the man who sold out his own project.

This contrast makes his legacy unusually complicated. Can remarkable technical achievements outweigh actions viewed as a betrayal during wartime? History doesn’t offer easy answers, and that’s precisely why Goicoechea continues to fascinate scholars.

As noted by thisclaimer.com, controversial historical figures often become symbols rather than simply people, with later generations projecting broader political and cultural debates onto their actions. Goicoechea is a classic example. Depending on who tells the story, he appears either as a pragmatic military defector or one of the most infamous traitors of the Spanish Civil War.

One thing is beyond dispute: his decision remains one of the best-known acts of defection in modern Spanish history, proving that sometimes a blueprint can carry as much weight as a battlefield.

Ok. Am out. Doorlock is a goner on this one..

I so absolutely strongly dislike these shitty trains.

How the hell did international travel go from "quiet well functional comfortable passenger cabin" to "stuck in the smelly tiny toilet of a brand new train, requiring the strength of a strong adult to break out"

The intercom is bizarre. I have never in my life been in a train with a worse intercom system. Utterly embarrassing for #DSB, #DB and #Talgo. I just cannot hear what the staff is saying. And this is throughout the train.

Here's a video showing the info screens (ok, although the info is incorrect). The sound is exactly as it is in the train.

Wagens 25 (luggage), 24 and 23 are locked. Good luck if you brought a stroller as (from experience) DSB staff will harass you for putting it anywhere else.

People have actually asked me to #review the #Talgo train btw. So consider this thread that review.

I do like that I can see my bicycle (white bag) in the oddly impractical storage area (sides are too low, metal frame makes non-solid boxes wobble).

First announcement was just made over the intercom. Welcome and someone left a bag wrong. Nothing about the seating situation which literally every passenger is confused about.

The intercom is with so much echo that it's barely audible.

#RENFE 🇪🇸 269-902 is seen here working the #Gijón portion of a daytime #Talgo originating in #Barcelona and composed of #TalgoIII stock. These cars were built in the 1960s. I very much like their design and colour scheme. Picture taken with the permission of the lovely train crew at #Busdongo station on the #Pajares line in April 2007.
