While it is more relevant to a small open access operator than a great
big S-bahn, presumably you could in principle outsource maintenance to
someone else who owns a workshop.


The Metronom operation isn't that small, but does not own a workshop.


you always suppress this fact when praising the small number of
people directly employed by Metronom, which means that you cheat.

Besides, there is a maintenance center built for the Metronom stock,
and that is owned and operated by the largest shareholder of Metronom.
