About the train fleet on Malaga Cercanias
The Malaga Cercanías have been operated by three different train fleets since the line reopened in 1975. These were the S/440 from 1975 to 1992, the S/446 from 1992 to 2008 and the Civia from 2008 to the present day.
Civia train fleet
The Civia fleet was developed by the company CAF for RENFE and the first came into service in 2004. Its features are ease of use for passengers, a modular make up of carriages, and the first carriage with a low floor to help disabled passengers.
The train sets in the Civia series are numbered 462, 463, 464, 465 where the last number indicated the number of carriage units making up the set.
The different carriages types are known as A1 to A5. A1 and A2 both feature the drivers cabs and the latter also has control equipment. A3 has a special low floor so that wheelchairs and bicycles can access the coach at platform level without a step up. Access to the platform is facilitated by automatic ramps. The A3 coach also has an adapted toilet. A4 is a standard open passenger coach.
There are two types of bogies, power bogies and trailer bogies. The power bogies straddle the intermediate coach units and the two trailing bogies are located at the front and back by the driver’s cab units.
Structurally carriage body is built with large aluminium pieces welded together to forming the self-supporting structure of the carriage with no chassis. The interiors have been coated with panels moulded in phenolic resins. The cab front ends are made of fiberglass reinforced polyester. The sliding passenger doors feature a wide opening of 1,3m, inside all carriages communicate with each other through a diaphanous corridor without doors.
