Alstom

Deutsche Bahn has temporarily removed the direct ICE between Berlin and Paris from the timetable due to technical problems with Alstom’s European train protection system. Affected passengers must change trains in Frankfurt am Main or Mannheim, according to a statement; a date to resume service is still unclear. Alstom is working intensively to fix the issue quickly. The connection had been in service since December 2024 and was most recently about 80% full. » Más en n-tv.de

After years of delay, the BVG’s 50-meter tram “Urbanliner,” built by Alstom, is in regular service on line M4 starting today. Additional vehicles will be delivered step by step; 15 trains should be in service by the end of the year and a total of 30 by the end of 2028. Delays were caused by disagreements with the approval authority, particularly over weight and the retrofitting of supports around Alexanderplatz; the approval currently applies only to line M4. Alstom shares traded on Wednesday down about 0.56 percent at roughly €15.17. » Más en finanzen.net

The 50‑metre Urbanliner tram delivered by Alstom has entered regular passenger service on BVG line M4 after several years of delay. Fifteen vehicles are to be delivered by the end of the year and a total of 30 are planned to be in service by the end of 2028; further deployments on other lines are envisaged. Start delays arose from coordination with the approval authority, in part over the vehicle weight and additional supports in the Alexanderplatz area; approvals are being granted on a line-by-line basis. » Más en finanzen.net
