DB Talgo Sets

MCR247 · 25 Aug 2011

Saw this is Berlin, and I wondered what they were as the windows were oddly spaced and I was intrigued at what they were used for.

I've since found that they are Talgo sets used on sleeper trains. Does anyone have any more information on them?

And is it just me or are they amazingly short?! (Height wise)

they are indeed talgo sleepers.

I can recommend them, they are remarkably comfortable to ride and sleep in.

Ehemalige Talgo-Wagen

means former Talgo Coach

DB stopped using the Talgo sleepers at the end of 2009, the repainted set runs for euhotra.eu.

I trust that they have also refurbed the interior as it was a bit dated

I travelled on them in 2002 so Im happy to know they are still in use, even if not with DB.

The ride was noticably smoother than other sleepers that I have been in, and the cabins were roomy.

German Wikipedia has a good resume of the DB Talgo chronology (in German but dates and trains operated easy to read without any knowledge of German)

Thanks for that. I got Chrome to translate it. Very helpful
