Hello and welcome back to Spain where we're going to be checking out a new operator on a recently launched route!
Today we will be taking Iryo, the newest open-access operator on the Iberian peninsular, and one that Renfe should be REALLY worried about. This was filmed on the second day of operations on the Madrid to Málaga route, and I travelled in their highest class, Infinita Bistro... so I hope you enjoy the video!
Date of Filming: 2/4/23
Camera: GoPro Hero 10 Black
Operator: Iryo
Departure: Madrid, Puerta de Atocha, Spain
Arrival: Málaga Mária Zambrano, Spain
Cost: First Class - €44 (£39, $48)

Cool one! A couple of remarks - This line is kinda special. I don't really know how iryo has managed to run trains on this route, in fact, as the line doesn't use ERTMS, but an old niche spanish traffic control system called LZB. This is because the line is the oldest dedicated high-speed line in spain. This also means that max speed is 250km/h, not 300 (although in the neigborhood of Madrid tracks could have been improved, I'm not totally sure) so I don't understand why the train display said 270 (update: I actually checked and vmax is 300km in a tiny tiny section near los yébenes, and vmax in the rest of the track is about 270) - About the 15min stops, I don't think renfe gets more priority. In the last year or so, traffic in atocha has increased and right now ADIF has declared the infrastructure to be over capacity, which could be the reason for the delays. In fact, some levante services are being moved to chamartin station to ease atocha a bit Also, as you are in spain. The new pajares base tunnel, which will connect Leon and Asturias in under an hour, and 18+ years in the making, is to open within a year. And the old pajares ramp railway is scheduled to close when that happens. It is a most scenic journey which people have compared to the gottard pass, but it is going to close due to high maintenance costs (an unthinkably poor decision if you ask me). This route is also served by one of the most traditional and trustworthy trains that have ever run in spain, renfe series 440, which are also to be swapped by new sets. Maybe you wold be interested in doing this route, as it will be impossible to do in a relatively short time.

I'm pretty sure the LZB system is actually German. It stands for LinienZugBeeinflussung (Linear Train Influencing). It's still in use on significant parts of the German high-speed network too, so equipment for it is probably quite easily available for installation in trains.

Well, _Iryo_ is a game changer in the sense that it will offer _'more or less'_ the same than they have in Italy with _Trenitalia_ so a high level of quality and service, where _Renfe_ had a monopoly (so no competition on there, except _Ouigo)_ and only the line Madrid-Sevilla had a warranty of arriving late than 5 minutes. So now, in the _low-cost_ range you can find that _Renfe_ have created the new brand _Avlo_ (which is the acronym of alta velocidad low cost) to try to compete with _Ouigo_ and, I think that Renfe must react fast, because _Iryo_ already have experience in Italy... I don't think that Iryo is entirely low cost in the sense that is a bit _-expensive-_ well balanced in a close comparison with the plane and even with a bus, in the quality/price/time of travel ratio.

Instead positioning in the lower grade _Iryo_ people folks decide (I think very clever and wisely) to enter also in a higher grade and having a competitive prices. Is expensive? I think yes, but having the _Haizea_ service on board and other things like material of the seats and more that I assume you saw also in _Frecciarossa,_ I think yes it worths. Maybe Renfe must be worried about, but I think that they must think first on improving the _AVE_ experience on board and then maybe am offer more or less the same than _Iryo_ or other...

Only a few things: Not all high speed services are in Puerta de Atocha right now; some are diverted to Chamartin until the new not dead-end station sector is built. The stop outside Atocha at these time of the day I would assume is some kind of delayed overnight engineering works. I've rode this last winter; they had an impressive acceleration (10' early arrival) very good ride but for me Velaro is still a bit higher in comfort (for cabin pressurizing). Lounges in Madrid and Barcelona are very basic; only a coffe or chocolate is included. And for tickets it's possible to use the "Casa Iryo" at the stations served. In Puerta de Atocha is near the tropical garden, under the shelter before passing security.

Amezing review!. May I suggest you next time you pass in Spain to try to review the Talgo VII ( It's the Intercity from Valencia to Barcelona don't be confused with the other one that comes from Murcia ) It's Spain rarest train and has a intresting interior ( Really similar to DB Ice trains in my opinion) these Talgo VII are really special because they used to be Night trains.( Right now most of the Talgo VII are being converted to series 107 High Speed train). So it's pretty rare to see that set of Talgo with a proper locomotive.

@@NonstopEurotrip I'm sorry to inform that no. That Talgo would be the Talgo VI which is a Older generation of Talgo coaches (That the more comun Talgo coach on the Renfe network) and it operates the routes from Madrid to Algeciras (On the HS lines until Antequera Santa Ana) Madrid to Badajoz Madrid to Almería Barcelona to Valencia to Alicante to Murcia. The Talgos VI are really fun to ride.

I do wonder up to what point it's economically beneficial to run them even in Italy. As in, maybe if it were converted to a normal first class coach you'd earn more money with the extra capacity. But who knows.

@@CityWhisperer I actually booked Frecciarossa executive class later this year precisely because of the availability of the product. I really like the premium option it offers and would like to see other operators offering similar products as well.
The only thing I don't like about this trains is the livery, they dind't change anything, only a couple of stickers with the new brand, however the colour and the "Frecciarossa" brand are still in the train, even the italian flag!

It's really not that outrageous for capital city train station
Has a lot of things in spain...takes along time coming, due to the local mayors being kept 'happy' for them to approve, to not having enough money for the project ...or the project money 'mysteriously' going 'missing'. An example of this would be to the west of Madrid in a place called 'Caceres'. I remember travelling on from Madrid to Caceres 22 years ago (on a 'choo-choo' train that traveled at walking pace!). Train took 4 hours to arrive!. Outside Caceres station there was a massive roadside billboard boasting about the 'soon' to be high speed train from Caceres to Madrid. Yep!..you guessed it, that railway line and high speed train to date still hasn't materialised. Furthermore, On the forever popular 'tourist rich coastline of the Costa del Sol, 'local' trains only run from Malaga down the coast before they 'run out' of train line at Fuengirola, and there it ends. Now you would have thought that on one of the country's most popular and visited (money rich) coastlines in Europe, that the Costa Del Sol, with all of its foreign and tourist investment that of course they would have extended the lines beyond to like Mijas Costa, Calahonda and Marbella to name just a few (Yes!, no train line or station at Marbella!???!). But no, 60 years on from the mass influx of tourist boom to spain....ain't happened to date!. In one of the most visited country in Europe!. This bad example is either a product of bad planning and lack of responsibility (heads in the sand syndrome!), money 'disappearing' or just the complacency of well "it doesn't matter the tourist and the foreign investors will still continue to visit even if we don't plough the money into the transport infrastructure etc"....!????! In stark contrast you have spanish islands like Majorca and Ibiza who in half this time have invested a high proportion of foreign financial investment and tourist cash back into their islands infrastructure and public resources. Something that mainland spain needs to think about (along with their 'many municipality mayors'). Such a poor opportunity missed by an otherwise beautiful country.

Face it, you are traveling for fun and money, while not being helpful to anyone who might want to take the same trip - people who will NOT spend the extra money you do to enjoy yourself.
Horrible customer service. This people don't know how to treat a person. If you value your time and money travel with Renfe; otherwise travel with iryo and if you are lucky you won't have to deal with their customer service. Although customer service isn't great in Spain overall, they could do so much better everywhere but iryo takes the cake here; I gave them multiple chances to make it right but they refused to.
