Map

Is there any way we could add a picture/map of the rail network in Spain covered by RENFE?

Voila! her you have it, directly from RENFE offices. David 11:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is 12 years out of date, though, notice -- shows a number of abandoned routes and, of course, omits high-speed lines opened since 1994. Also, the copyright and licensing info looks a little dodgy ("This is a screenshot of copyrighted computer software" : no, it isn't) -- Picapica 10:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it is 12 years old, in the file description is clearly said. And? do you have anything better sir? The copyright information is quite precise, sir. How do you categorize a screenshot of a PDF file?? David 16:03, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But it didn't say so in the caption, before I amended it (the file description is not going to be apparent to those who do not go specifically looking for it). Any map of the Spanish railway system more than 12 months old should carry a "health warning" in the present state of play. Hundreds of route kilometres shown on that map have closed in the last 12 years and hundreds more of newly constructed line have opened.

Have I anything better? No. Had I any more up-to-date, uncopyrighted map, su señoría, I should have posted it myself.

How do you categorize a screenshot of a PDF file? No idea, but I can't see how writing "This is a screenshot of copyrighted computer software" lets you off the copyright hook. -- Picapica 20:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Renfe Operadora

I have made a start on updating the article (with a re-write of paras 1 and 2) to take account of the fact that the old Red Nacional de los Ferrocarriles Españoles ceased to exist on 31.12.2004. While, in most of the body of the article, the new company can continue to be called "Renfe" (though not "RENFE", as the name is no longer an acronym) – as is the case in everyday usage in Spain – I do think that the article itself should be moved (with all appropriate redirects, of course) to "Renfe Operadora": the name of the presently existing company.

There is probably a case to be made, too, for a separate article to be written on RENFE (1941–2004). There certainly should, in my view, be one on ADIF. -- Picapica 21:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. -LlywelynII (talk) 14:47, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then, shouldn't the article be moved or renamed from "RENFE" to "Renfe" or "Renfe Operadora" already?--Gta Ed (talk) 22:56, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RENFE officials

I thought it might be useful to open a section on the incredible rudeness of RENFE staff and officails, in the hope it will shame them into 'reeducating' some of its employees. Given that a lot of their funding comes from the EU you'd think they would be concerned at the rudeness and hostility that is often shown to foreign passengers. I'm happy to offer my own anecdotal evidence if someone can dig up some documentation to back it up, i.e. numbers and types of complaints. It should be possible to get this information somewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmcadam (talk • contribs) 12:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rolling stock replacement

RENFE is undergoing a massive rolling stock replacement programme, one of the largest in the world. This article (http://www.railwaygazette.com/news_view/article/2009/01/9166/the_most_modern_fleet_in_europe.html) gives an in depth description. I don't have time to write it in now, but it seems to me that this should be the main priority for this article.Olyus (talk) 16:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RENFE is not Renfe

The original R.E.N.F.E. was reconverted in 2005 into ADIF and a newly created entity called Renfe-Operadora (commercial name "Renfe Operadora" or just "Renfe") was segregated with all the rolling stock. Having in the same page the history of "RENFE" mixed with Renfe Operadora, which by the way is no longer an acronym, is a mistake. This article should be maintaned only for the old RENFE, like the Spanish version: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Nacional_de_los_Ferrocarriles_Espa%C3%B1oles

Whilst a new one should be created for Renfe Operadora in the same way there exists an article for ADIF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adif).

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrador_de_Infraestructuras_Ferroviarias

My last edition has changed all references to Renfe Operadora that appeared as "RENFE" to just Renfe, but this article should receive an overhaul as described. I don't know how to create and article nor the level of English for good writing, just letting you know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.3.231.141 (talk) 04:47, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. This page should be moved, although I'm not sure how to get this done. Inglok (talk) 13:37, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to move this page to Renfe Operadora. Please say if you have any objections. Inglok (talk) 13:31, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Renfe Operadora → Renfe – Renfe is clearly the WP:COMMONNAME, and it is currently a redirect to this page. No need to use the long official name. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:00, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
