Complete (almost) Shutdown of Berlin Train System - could ithappen here...??
Wolfgang Schwanke schrieb: Are you Lüko's twin? That's a silly question. I would say things were best at the end of the 1990s when the system was reunified and new extensions had been added, but the adverse effects of privatisation hadn't had time to kick in yet. Things have gone downhill since. "Downhill" could be marked with the scrapping of not just the old museum trains, but GDR trains of the late 80s, stripping the S-Bahn of any reserve. An example for the arrogance of West-German managers. Yes, sure, they were technically inferior, but wiser people would have put them into storage yards. Now they have lost tentousands of passengers per day, with no other reason than "we don't need that GDR junk". Hans-Joachim -- Frieda Uffelmann * 15. August 1915 â€* 9.
