When we travel by train, most of what we see are seats, windows, and compartments. But behind that functional and seemingly simple design lies a complex technological system working silently to make each journey safe, efficient, and comfortable. Today, we invite you to discover what you don’t see: the technical interior of a modern train. …
When temperatures rise above 40 °C, keeping transportation systems running —safely, reliably, and comfortably— becomes a real challenge. But modern trains are up to the task. Thanks to a combination of electronic engineering, smart design, and preventive maintenance, railways can continue operating even under extreme thermal conditions. How do they do it? Adaptive Ventilation and Climate…
Railway Facts and Curiosities You Probably Didn’t Know Railways are one of the world’s oldest, most efficient, and transformative modes of transport. But even those who work in the industry might be surprised by some of its lesser-known facts. Here are 10 railway curiosities that might just change the way you look at trains, even…
Some journeys aren’t measured in kilometers, but in landscapes. Tourist trains routes offer a unique way to discover the world at a different pace—crossing mountains, deserts, and coastlines from the comfort of a coach. They are true moving capsules that combine tradition, innovation, and an undeniable spirit of adventure. Hop on board with us to…
Rail stands out as one of the most sustainable transport options. Its low carbon footprint per passenger or tonne transported, combined with high energy efficiency, makes it a key ally in meeting climate targets. Rail and sustainability: Emissions and efficiency According to the European Environment Agency, trains emit up to five times less CO₂per kilometre…
Sustainability is no longer an option, but a necessity. On this path, the rail sector has positioned itself as a key player, due to its low environmental impact compared to other modes of transport and its ability to adapt to new technologies. Among these innovations, hybrid trains, capable of running on more than one energy…
Graffiti on trains is no longer simply a cosmetic issue. Its proliferation constitutes a real problem for the rail sector, with direct consequences in financial, environmental and operational terms. Not only do they damage the image of the service, these acts of vandalism generate costs in the millions each year and hamper daily train operations. …
The SIL (Safety Integrity Level) standard has become an essential pillar for the railway industry. Its function is clear: to ensure that critical systems (such as signalling, braking or train control) operate reliably and safely, even in conditions that are less than ideal. What is the SIL regulation? SIL is a metric used to define…
