The interior of the Metropolitan, seen in MET 1032 (Hamburg-Cologne) during the stop at Essen on 1 May 2003. This is car number 4, it belongs to a class called Office, which is meant for passengers who want to work during the travel. Electric sockets for portable computers are at each seat. In front of the gangway to car number 5 there are emergency exits at both sides, the other end of the car has normal entrance doors. Some of the trips on 1 May 2003 (including this one) were special events to promote the Metropolitan, so tickets were totally free for those who managed to get them.
