[edit] 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)

- Is 12 years out of date, though, notice -- shows a number of abandoned routes and, of course, omits high-speed lines opened since 1994.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)
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)

- 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)
[edit] 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)
