The fact of not having power cars permits an optimal occupancy (404 seats) and a "transparent" driver desk, very appreciated by much customers.

renfe AVE Velaro E unit 16, end car 96 71 9-103 616-9 (Turista). Half of the train belongs to this "ordinary class" which is very comparable to 2nd class in most other high-speed trains. At least the seats are reclining a bit and have soft head pillows. All cars offer overhead screens (not sure which program will be shown in regular service) and individual plugs for headphones at each seat. Innotrans 2006, Berlin. tobias b köhler

renfe AVE Velaro E unit 16, end car 96 71 9-103 616-9 (Turista). The "observation lounge" differs from German class 403/406: The seat arrangement is 2+1, and one of the seats isn't looking out to the front window. Also all seats are at the same level. Innotrans 2006, Berlin. tobias b köhler
