Descriptive of a type of rolling stock rather than a category of train, Talgo indicates low-slung, short coaches, designed with special articulated joints to better tackle sharp bends and winding track. Talgo coaches also have adjustable wheels, making them one of the few train types able to cross the Franco-Spanish border, as France and Spain use different track gauges. The modern Mark VII Talgo is comparable in comfort to a high-speed service such as TGV, and is in service between Barcelona and destinations in southern France.
