Renfe withdraws two new Talgo trains due to doubts about the condition of the bogies
Renfe will maintain reinforced surveillance over the set of S106 trains, regardless of the lines or corridors they have traveled on.
Renfe, the Spanish state-owned train operator, has discovered more cracks in the bogies of its Series 106 trains, purchased from Talgo in 2016 for approximately €2,000 million. The issue affects the high-speed trains, which have been experiencing problems since they entered service in 2024. Five trains were withdrawn from service in summer 2025 due to bogie cracks, and two more have been sent to workshops in August for similar issues.
Renfe will keep trains out of circulation if there are doubts about the state of their bogies and will only allow them to operate once they have passed technical checks.
