Double deck Talgo clarification

In the news item on the double deck tram poster, I mentioned that Talgo had proposed a double deck train with gangways on both levels, but that the concept had never been tried in practice. A correspondant from Finland has pointed out that following Talgo's failure to secure the Zürich S-Bahn order, partly on account of the lack of prototype experience, a non-motored prototype was built (pictures: 1 and 2).
