#talgo — Public Fediverse posts

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. #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.

  4. #Milano 🇮🇹 Centrale, one December morning in 2007: #Trenhotel #Talgo #Euronight “Salvador Dalí”, from #Barcelona 🇪🇸, has just arrived, hauled by a #Trenitalia #FS Class E.656 #Caimano electric. The train is visible on the left. On the adjacent track, we see the nose of a Class E.444R #Tartaruga.

  9. @AndreasSebayang Bin zufällig ICE L gefahren und habe ihn nur anhand Deiner Lok-Hinweise erkannt :)

    Das Fahrradabteil ist winzig und fuhr ganz am Ende mit, die Reserviert-Anzeige stimmte nicht mit App-Info überein, Hängepflicht wozu zwei der zwei anderen Mitfahrenden körperlich nicht in der Lage waren.

    Kein Platz für Liegeräder, Kinderanhänger oder auch nur Kinderwagen oder Gepäck.

    Weil nur vier der acht Plätze belegt waren, konnten wir immerhin unser Gepäck dranlassen.

  10. #Talgo sucht Technische Zugbegleiter für den #ICEL

    "Durchführung von Tagesfahrten (in Begleitung mit einem erfahrenen Talgo-Zugbegleiter aus der spanischen Muttergesellschaft) in der ersten Einsatzphase auf der Strecke Berlin–Köln–Berlin innerhalb eines Tages.
    Unterstützung bei sporadischen Fahrten in der zweiten Einsatzphase, insbesondere zur Eröffnung neuer Strecken (z. B. nach Sylt und Oberstdorf)."

  11. Also so ganz rund rollen die #DSB #talgo ha noch nicht. Mittlerweile Stunde zu spät und der Zug denkt wir fahren nach #Kopenhagen

  12. Nanu, was sahen meine Augen heute in Social Media? Der ICE L ist mit einer tschechischen Lok ab Berlin Hbf losgefahren. Vermutlich eine MS A01 von RAILL (also 200 km/h). Aber mit dem Logo der České Dráhy. Damit fährt der Zug dann los, der eigentlich für Fahrten in die Niederlande eine Premiere haben sollte. Das wird aber immer unwahrscheinlicher. Auch weil Flixtrain NL mit dem Talgo aufgegeben hat.

  13. I really don't think the ICE L looks good... not sure what the design-approach was beyond "make it look like an ICE" but it just doesn't feel as "fast" as the existing ones as it seems kinda "stocky".

    But imo. this can be fixed with just a bit of livery change adding something like a line in the white space above the windows.

    So here's a quick mockup based on this image 👀

  18. @Pepijn Hej. Funny, a few days later I started my trip to Danmark the other way round: from Hamburg to Aarhus, planned with a #DSB #Talgo but due to "technical difficulties" we got a replacement train consisting of two DSB locos and good old DB Intercity coaches.
    Not as fancy as a new Talgo but still quite comfortable.
    Btw, at Padborg there were border contols.

    On my way back, I'll go the route via Bramming, Tønder and Niebüll and on the last leg to Niebüll with a NEG train.

  19. Hurrah. We're in #Hamburg and for once I'm not changing trains here. I'll continue in the InterCity all the way to Niebüll, where I'll take a diesel railcar over the German-Danish border and then a regional train to Esbjerg. Fun 🙂

    The #DSB #Talgo will have to wait for the next trip :-)

  20. My review of #DSB #Talgo EuroCity #train Copenhagen 🇩🇰 – Hamburg 🇩🇪. Still a lot of small issues to be ironed out.

    The doors broke on multiple stops and caused delays.

    The infoscreens were nice but they sometimes showed “Next station: Unknown!” or “There was a technical issue” (with display or the train itself?).

    Seating is ok. I did not find any USB port, only two charge points. They randomly dropped power tho. There is a small shelve for a tablet but #TVTooHigh

  21. Hamburg 🇩🇪 Hauptbahnhof. A last look at the #DSB #Talgo from #Copenhagen 🇩🇰, before heading for dinner (and a local beer) up to the #Wandelhalle. Last step for today: boarding the #ÖBB 🇦🇹 #nightjet.

  22. … and a few more design features of the new #DSB 🇩🇰 #Talgo: meaningful signage (timings, car positioning, vacant lavatories), generous luggage racks, dedicated bike space in both end cars, and “touch-free” activation of the toilet flush.

  23. Some interior design features of the new #DSB 🇩🇰 #Talgo. A good mix of bays of four (bays of two or four in 1st) and airline style seating, with tray tables and tablet holders. Individual reading lights. One “European” power outlet per seat, no USB or wireless charging. Comfy seats, reclining within a seat shell.

  24. Hello from the first ever #Copenhagen 🇩🇰 to #Hamburg 🇩🇪 #DSB #EuroCity #Talgo service 🥳🎉.
    The trainset is brand new, rather stylish and there’s, almost, level boarding throughout. No #DiningCar though, but I spotted a ☕️ vending machine. @diningcar
