You think the fact that a workshop was closed made no difference?

For trains delivered as ordered? No.

For maintenance?

No.

The additional maintenance facility comes in very handy for the
reactivation of the 485, though, and of course, it is necessary for all
the units with miscalculated wheel strength.



So you say that all the newspaper reports and the trade unions blaming
that management decision got it all wrong?

Name one journalist in Germany, who understands railway technology,
outside of the special interest press. Just one. 95% of them aren't
able to understand the difference between driver and guard. 95% might be
an underestimation.

The trade unions will most probably be right, that the additional
facility is necessary for a fleet including the 485s, and I agree, that
the 485 should never have gone out of service.

But the core of the problems is the miscalulated wheels of 1000 new
S-Bahn cars.



Read again: The S-Bahn management pumped money out of the company to DB.
Are you denying this

Of course not! DB does this with /all/ its contracts, which it has
received at inflated prices without bidding. The S-Bahn Berlin isn't
special in that regard.

That's what they use for going shopping, in Britain, Denmark, Netherlands,
etc. pp.
