First day of regular operations by class 1440. 1440 807 serviced line S5 while leaving Hagen Hbf on 14th of December 2014.

Class 1440 replaces class 422 on lines S8 and S5 in Northrhine-Westphalia. But it is a riddle how it should work: Class 422 has four cars with 12 doors, class 1440 only three coaches with five doors. So it is no wonder that most trains on that lines was delayed today - on Sunday! Photo ©Arnim v. Herff
