Renfe still faces strong structural demand, notwithstanding Adamuz. More new HSLs are due for EIS in the coming years, and S-100s are crying out for (pre) retirement. Pity that the purchase of the 13 ICE3M from DB is not on the agenda.

www.expansion.com/opinion/2026... Renfe ha perdido, con la liberalización de la alta velocidad, un 40% del mercado, a manos de Iryo y Ouigo. Iryo operó en 2025 con 20 trenes (nuevos, eso sí) y Ouigo con 16 (de segunda mano). Renfe tiene operando 94, además de otros 30, los Avril serie 106.

expansion.comLa difícil justificación de la compra de nuevos trenes de alta velocidadRenfe se propone adquirir 30 o 40 nuevos trenes de velocidad máxima de350 km/h por importe de hasta 1.777 millones de euros. Según parece,prevé resolver la adjudicación en las próximas semanas.

If you apply your rent controls too tightly, the housing crisis will probably worsen, as offer will dry up. Not to mention your plans to open wide borders. Where are you gonna house those new immigrants?

Really inspiring to sit down with Elodie and Jon from Streets Kitchen to hear about their incredible work supporting people facing homelessness in Holborn and St Pancras, and the need for urgent action to tackle the housing crisis.

Vichy is pretty much a by-product of the non-Communist Left (SFIO) and of the Centre-Left (PR). E.g. Laval, Darlan... The same house of parliament who backed Front Populaire in 1936-38 voted full powers to Pétain in 1940.
