Announced a long time ago, now it seems to be becoming serious: the Series 490 broad-gauge Pendolinos (ex-#Alaris) may enter service in September on the #Zaragoza 🇪🇸 - #Pamplona line.

They are expected to replace the Civia EMUs currently used for Media Distancia services on this line.

In 2014 they were withdrawn from service due to technical problems. Some pictures of a modernised train set were already published last year.

#Fahrplan2025

Artbreeder fun with the main characters from my upcoming YA fantasy releasing later this year. Any guesses as to what kind of trouble these two will get into?
