Though the new suburban rail line Hannover-Seelze has been opened on June 1
1997, the service is still done with older trains. The first new class 424 EMUs
had been promised for 1998, but now Adtranz says they won't come until end of
1999. At least the trains are not called S-Bahn now but still SE (StadtExpress).
