Civia Trains Take Over On Costa Del Sol Line

The Costa Del Sol coastal railway line (C1 Cercanias line) between Malaga and Fuengirola has seen its last UT-446 EMU train now that RENFE the Spanish rail operator has replaced the entire fleet with new modern and comfortable Civia units. The Civia units can carry more passengers and are more wheelchair friendly. The UT-4 have been in service on the C1 line since 1989. The new Civia trains can reach a speed of 120 kilometres per hour nad have room for 600 passengers.I recently travelled on the new trains and they are a big improvement on the old ones.
