Trenhotel 927 "Rosalía de Castro" (Barcelona-A Coruña/Vigo), seen at Rande, nearing Vigo. This service ran from 1996 to 1998 on a 3-weekly basis at peak times (Summer holiday, Xmas and Easter), in addition to the usual Estrella "Galicia", cutting overnight journey times by 2 hrs or so. Shortage of Talgo rolling-stock and more pressing priorities (Eg the conversion of the Madrid-Galicia Estrella into a Trenhotel in early-1999) have led to the termination of this service. Yet, it is broadly admitted that a Trenhotel is to run again on Barcelona-Galicia (this time as a permanent replacement for the antiquated Estrella), once RENFE soon gets extra Talgo sleeper sets, using part of the Madrid-Barcelona HSL.
