Failures in 2009/2010 were caused by lack of maintenance, leading to
shortages in rolling stock. The ultimate cause was the closedown of a
vital workshop due to company policy of channeling money to the owner
company as profits. It remains to be seen if the latest failure can be
ascribed to the same cause.


Maybe, but not under the responsibility of "S-Bahn Berlin GmbH", but
of "DB Netz AG".
