422 002-6 is waiting at Herzogenrath (on Aachen-Mönchengladbach) between test runs on 22 April 2008. Class 422 is intended to add to class 423 for S-Bahn (suburban railway) services in the Rhein-Ruhr-Sieg network. While the configuration of doors and windows is identical, the styling of the cab was strikingly changed. Also an electromagnetic brake was implemented to improve the brake ability.
