The Berlin light rail train system, plagued by problems for years,
demonstrated today that it can, indeed get worse. Many cars have been
taken out of service for all sorts of ailments, and having pruned the
maintenance shops and the drivers to a bare minimum, there is no room
for dealing with problems. And there have been problems galore.

The Berlin S-Bahn getting "pruned" a little bit concerning staff still
needs significantly more staff per passenger kilometre, passenger carried,
train or seat kilometres or network length offered than any other S-Bahn
system in Germany.

This rotten company in Berlin should be closed. Tendering the S-Bahn

The hatred which Herr Schnell displays against the ex-GDR railway
workers defending their conquests of the past six decades makes him
blind for the fact that the problem did not occur in the realm of the
company he wants to close in order to send the workers into misery, but
in the realm of DB Netz AG, the company in the DB conglomerate which is
responsible for maintaining and operating the network. Analogue in
Britain is Network Rail.
