The ultimate flexible train?
Spanish Railways (RENFE) is to convert 15 of its Alvia high speed trains so that they can use both diesel and electric traction. They will have on-board power units for use when the train needs to run beyond the electrified network - in particular, to Murcia.
These trains were built so that they could run between the Iberian gauge (1668 mm) network and the growing standard gauge (1435 mm) network in the country.
Two gauges, two systems - is this the ultimate in flexibility?
