More than 4,500 low-cost seats to travel with the new Avlos between Madrid, Zaragoza and Barcelona

On Monday 22 July, Renfe will carry out the second phase of the implementation of the new Avlo S106 on the high-speed Madrid-Zaragoza-Barcelona corridor, which began on 21 May and has allowed the company to significantly increase its low-cost rail services. This second and final phase of the implementation of the new vehicles on this corridor will mean another significant increase in the operator’s low-cost seats, of more than 4,500 per week.

On May 21, Renfe put the new S106 trains into circulation on the Madrid-Zaragoza-Barcelona high-speed line, which the operator used for Avlo services, the low-cost services, on this corridor. In a first phase , part of the S112M trains of the Avlo service were replaced by the new S106 trains, the highest-capacity trains operated in Spain. The measure meant an increase of Renfe’s ‘low-cost’ seats for Zaragoza and Calatayud of 40%.

This Monday, July 22, Renfe will carry out the second phase of the incorporation of the new vehicles to the corridor, so that the company’s eight current Avlo services will be provided with the S106 . Thus, the offer of low-cost seats for Aragon will grow again, in this case, by more than 4,500 per week.

In addition, the company will offer an additional 4,400 low-cost seats each week throughout the month of August to promote mobility and leisure and tourism travel during the holiday season.

AVLOS S106

The S106 are high-capacity trains, with 581 seats , very comfortable seats (with a 3+2 seating arrangement), information panels in the hall, vending machines and large-capacity luggage compartments , among other things. They are accessible trains with space for People with Reduced Mobility and adapted bathrooms.

The introduction of the new Avlo S106 on the corridor will be accompanied in some cases by schedule and product modifications associated with these vehicles. All information and timetables can be consulted on the Renfe website.
