- Synopsis:
In part two we head for the Catalonian capital Barcelona. It’s a busy double track line and we have to compete for track space with other international trains, freight and passenger, plus all the local services you would expect to see around a world class city. We cheat slightly on route, to give you the opportunity for a quick look at Blanes, the holiday resort on the Costa Brava that has been popular with the British for generations. Then it’s into Barcelona through the complex series of tunnels that link the network to the north east with that to the south west. We look at all the main stations and show which is best for what. Although the TALGO does not call at França station, such a beautiful terminal could not be left out! These diversions are included for your enjoyment, in addition to which the entire route from the cab of the Talgo’s 252 locomotive is covered. Lavishly illustrated, and narrated by Phyllis Watts. - Genres:
