Un tren a deraiat în Spania: Zeci de oameni răniţi şi cel puţin 15 morţi

Autorităţile spaniole au confirmat că trenul, care merge pe ruta Madrid - Ferrol, a deraiat în apropiere de oraşul Santiago de Compostela, dar nu au putut confirma numărul victimelor.

Accidentul a avut loc la ora locală 20:42 (21:42, ora României), la mai puţin de 3km faţă de Santiago de Compostela. La faţa locului s-au deplasat echipele ale poliţiei, pompieri şi medici.

Rtve.es scrie că este vorba de un tren de mare distanţă 151 Alvia, care mergea pe traseul Madrid-Chamartin-Ferrol. 13 vagoane au deraiat, iar antepenultimul vagon a fost complet distrus. În tren se aflau circa 240 de pasageri. Cauzele accidentului încă nu sunt cunoscute.

Doi pasageri din tren, care au supravieţuit accidentului, povestec că au simţit cum trenul a ajuns în curbă, după care îşi aduc aminte că s-au trezit întinşi pe jos, înconjuraţi de morţi.

Locuitorii din zonă au declarat pentru Europa Press că la ora 20:40 au auzit o explozie.

Momentul catastrofei, surprins de camerele de supraveghere

Trenul care a deraiat în Spania şi a provocat moartea a 78 de pasageri avea o viteză mult prea mare. Potrivit El Pais, care citează surse din cadrul anchetei trenul circula cu 190 de kilometri pe oră într-o curbă unde viteza ar fi trebuit să fie de doar 80 de kilometri la oră.

Tren Alvia (clasa 130 RENFE) si un mic detaliu

Toate vagoanele sunt pe osii?

Sunt un fel de boghiuri, care de fapt au doua osii sub fiecare articulatie... E ciudat fiecare osie are o singura roata, iar osiile sunt prinse pe un cadru. Oricum, vagoanele sunt foarte scurte: 13,1m.
Formula unui tren este: Bo'Bo' 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 Bo'Bo' (11 vagoane)

Trenul este unul de mare viteza (250km/h) si functioneaza atat pe ecartament iberic (1,668 mm) cat si pe cel normal (1,435 mm). Cel mai interesant e ca schimbarea de ecartament se face "in mers" la viteza mica!

Iata si doua filmulete foarte interesante privind schimbarea ecartamentului si o filmare pe viu!

Osia de sub articulatie se incadreaza in curbe prin intermediul celor doua parghii vizibile din poza de mai sus.

In plus, designul articulatiei ofera si inclinare pasiva in curbe  ( -> viteza mai mare) si o podea mai joasa -> centru de greutate mai coborat.





Marele dezavantaj al acestui sistem cu (pseudo-)osii simple este confort redus pe linii clasice cu joante si/sau mai prost intretinute - nu exista efectul de parghie conferit de un boghiu. Problema ar avea-o si ULF-urile


O varianta a clasei 130 este clasa 730 care in locul primului si ultimului segment de tren au cate un grup generator diesel de 1800kW, ceea ce permite trenului viteze de pana la 180km/h pe linii neelectrificate:

Un asemenea tren a deraiat la Santiago de Compostela.

Tren deraiat în apropiere de Barcelona. Un om a murit

Un om a murit şi cel puţin cinci au fost răniţi după ce un tren a deraiat în Spania, la 40 de kilometri nord-vest de Barcelona.
Accidentul a avut loc la ora locală 6. 15 minute. Potrivit presei locale, au sărit de pe şine două dintre cele 6 vagoane ale garniturii.
Compania feroviară a transmis că deraierea a avut loc din cauza unei alunecări de teren, în urma ploilor abundente din ultima perioadă.
150 de călători erau în tren când a avut loc accidentul. Traficul pe tronsonul de cale ferată afectat a fost întrerupt.
Operatorul feroviar a anunţat deja că vor fi introduse autobuze care să suplinească trenurile.

• La compra forma parte del plan para la renovación de la flota de Cercanías y Media Distancia, para garantizar la calidad y mejora de los Servicios Públicos
• Renfe está realizando el mayor esfuerzo inversor de las últimas décadas, con licitaciones que superan los 3.500 millones y que generarán alrededor de 52.000 empleos


El Consejo de Administración de Renfe ha aprobado hoy la adjudicación a las empresas Alstom y Stadler del contrato para la compra de 211 trenes de gran capacidad para Cercanías, por un importe global de 2.445 millones de euros. Del total de trenes, 176 tendrán una longitud de 100 metros cada uno, y otros 35 alcanzarán los 200 metros.

El contrato se divide en dos lotes: el primero, adjudicado a Alstom Transporte, para el suministro de 152 trenes de 100 metros de longitud, por un importe de 1.447 millones de euros; y el segundo, adjudicado a Stadler Rail Valencia, para 24 trenes de 100 metros de longitud, y 35 trenes de 200 metros cada uno, por importe de 998 millones de euros.

Ambos lotes incluyen las piezas de parque, el almacén inicial de repuestos y sus utillajes, y el mantenimiento durante 15 años. La prestación de los servicios de mantenimiento se realizará a través de sociedades anónimas participadas (51% la compañía adjudicataria y 49% Renfe Fabricación y Mantenimiento).

Aumento del 20% de la capacidad
Los nuevos trenes, que serán destinados a servicio en los grandes núcleos de Cercanías, tienen una capacidad de al menos 900 plazas cada uno de ellos (un 20% más que los actuales Civia). Además, minimizarán el tiempo de bajada y subida de viajeros, mediante un avanzado diseño con un mínimo de 10 puertas y amplios vestíbulos.

Asimismo, todos ellos serán totalmente accesibles para facilitar el viaje de personas con movilidad reducida, y dispondrán de conexión wifi y zonas para bicicletas y carritos infantiles.

Esta operación forma parte del Plan de Renovación de flota puesto en marcha por Renfe en 2019, con el objetivo de garantizar la calidad y mejora de los Servicios Públicos en los próximos años, y que supondrá la renovación del 50%.de los trenes de Cercanías y Media Distancia.

Renfe está realizando el mayor esfuerzo inversor de las últimas décadas en la compra de material rodante para contribuir al impulso de la recuperación económica, con licitaciones que superan en conjunto los 3.500 millones de euros y que generarán alrededor de 52.000 nuevos empleos.

La primera de estas licitaciones fue adjudicada el pasado mes de junio a la empresa Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) para el suministro de 31 trenes de Ancho Métrico y 6 trenes Alpinos, y el mantenimiento parcial de la flota de trenes durante un periodo de 15 años, por un importe global de 258 millones de euros.

Asimismo, en los próximos meses Renfe tiene previsto adjudicar sendos contratos para la adquisición de 43 de trenes de Media Distancia y 38 trenes de Cercanías, todos ellos híbridos, que se destinarán al servicio en diferentes comunidades autónomas. Igualmente, está previsto adjudicar también un contrato para la compra de 40 cabezas motrices que irán destinadas a las diferentes líneas de Alta Velocidad.

Rejuvenecimiento del parque ferroviario
La adquisición de estos trenes permite atender las previsibles necesidades de rejuvenecimiento de la flota, con el incremento de la fiabilidad y reducción de las incidencias, el aumento de la eficiencia energética, así como la adecuación a las obligaciones de implantación de la accesibilidad y el incremento de la seguridad en el sistema ferroviario.

A este respecto, Renfe pretende reducir la edad media del parque ferroviario, especialmente de Cercanías y Regionales, que cuentan con trenes que, en algunos casos, superan los 30 años de antigüedad y acumulan el 80% del servicio público de Renfe.

Renfe cuenta en la actualidad con un parque de 1.016 trenes destinados a Cercanías, Media Distancia y Ancho Métrico (antigua Feve), y desde 2007 no se había licitado la contratación para la adquisición de trenes nuevos.

El límite operativo de esas unidades es de 40 años, edad media que se ha superado en algunas series de los servicios de Media Distancia, especialmente en los de Ancho Métrico, y por ello la operadora ha acometido la mayor inversión posible para modernizar la flota de trenes destinada a OSP.

Renfe awards Alstom and Stadler the contract for the purchase of 211 large-capacity trains for Cercanías
• Total amount of 2,445 million euros
• The new trains will have a 20% higher capacity than the current Civia, and will minimize the time of descent and climbing of travelers
• All of them will be fully accessible to facilitate the travel of people with reduced mobility, and they will have Wi-Fi and areas for bicycles and children's carts
• The purchase is part of the plan for the renewal of the Cercanías and Medium Distance fleet, to ensure the quality and improvement of public services
• Renfe is making the largest investment effort of recent decades, with tenders exceeding 3.5 billion and creating around 52,000 jobs
The Board of Directors of Renfe today approved the award to the companies Alstom and Stadler of the contract for the purchase of 211 large-capacity trains for Cercanías, for an overall amount of 2,445 million euros. Of the total trains, 176 will have a length of 100 meters each, and another 35 will reach 200 meters.

The contract is divided into two lots: the first, awarded to Alstom Transporte, for the supply of 152 trains of 100 meters in length, amounting to EUR 1,447 million; and the second, awarded to Stadler Rail Valencia, for 24 trains of 100 meters in length, and 35 trains of 200 meters each, amounting to 998 million euros.

Both lots include park parts, the initial spare parts warehouse and their tools, and maintenance for 15 years. The provision of maintenance services will be carried out through limited companies owned (51% the contracting company and 49% Renfe Manufacturing and Maintenance).

20% increase in capacity
The new trains, which will be destined for service in the large nuclei of Cercanías, have a capacity of at least 900 seats each (20% more than the current Civia). In addition, they will minimize the time of descent and climbing of travelers, through an advanced design with a minimum of 10 doors and large halls.

All of them will be fully accessible to facilitate the travel of people with reduced mobility, and wi-Fi and areas for bicycles and children's carts will be available.

This operation is part of the Fleet Renewal Plan launched by Renfe in 2019, with the aim of ensuring the quality and improvement of Public Services in the coming years, and that will involve the renewal of 50%, of the Cercanías and Medium Distance trains.

Renfe is making the greatest investment effort of recent decades in the purchase of rolling stock to contribute to the boost of economic recovery, with tenders that together exceed 3.5 billion euros and will generate around 52,000 new jobs.

The first of these tenders was awarded last June to the company Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) for the supply of 31 Metric Width trains and 6 Alpine trains, and the partial maintenance of the fleet of trains over a period of 15 years, for an overall amount of 258 million euros.

In addition, in the coming months Renfe plans to award two contracts for the acquisition of 43 Medium Distance trains and 38 trains from Cercanías, all hybrid, which will be used for service in different autonomous communities. It is also planned to award a contract for the purchase of 40 motor heads that will be intended for the different high-speed lines.

Rejuvenation of the railway park
The acquisition of these trains allows to meet the foreseeable needs of rejuvenation of the fleet, with the increase in reliability and reduction of incidents, the increase in energy efficiency, as well as the adaptation to the obligations of implementation of accessibility and the increase of safety in the railway system.

In this regard, Renfe aims to reduce the average age of the railway park, especially nearby and regional, which have trains that, in some cases, exceed 30 years old and accumulate 80% of Renfe's public service.

Renfe currently has a park of 1,016 trains for Cercanías, Medium Distance and Metric Width (former Feve), and since 2007 no contracting had been tendered for the purchase of new trains.

The operating limit of these units is 40 years, the average age that has been exceeded in some series of Medium Distance services, especially those of Metric Width, and therefore the operator has made as much investment as possible to modernize the fleet of trains destined for OSP.

Avem si randarea de la Stadler:

Guvernul Spaniei a autorizat procedura pentru o licitatie privind modernizarea sectorului Castelló-Vandellòs, parte a Coridorului Mediteranean

Avand un buget de peste 121 milioane euro (fara TVA), modernizarea presupune modificarea ecartamentului (de la cel iberic 1668mm la cel standard 1435mm) si a sistemului de electrificare (de la 3KV la 25KV) pe o lungime de aproximativ 150 km.
Lucrarile vor fi separate in doua contracte: sectiunea Castelló-Vinaròs cu o valoare estimata de 76,77 mil euro, si sectiunea Vinaròs-Vandellòs, cu o valoare estimata de 45 mil euro.
Durata de executie va fi de 18 luni de la semnarea contractelor.
In prezent, legatura rapida dintre Barcelona si Valencia se face prin intermediul trenurilor Euromed (Renfe clasa 130 - Talgo 250). Aceste trenuri permit ecartament variabil. Intre Barcelona si Vandellós, trenurile circula pe linii AVE cu ecartament standard, avand o viteza maxima de 250 km/h, iar mai departe, circula pe ecartament iberic cu viteza maxima de 200 km/h. Pentru trecerea de la un ecartament la altul, se foloseste schimbatorul de ecartament automat de la Boadella.
