Eurobahn ordered Stadler Flirts to service lines RE 3 (Düsseldorf - Dortmund via Gelsenkirchen) and RE 13 (Hamm - Venlo [NL]) since 13th of December 2009. Four of them with four parts each and 14 with five parts each. The smaler ones was delivered during summer and was used for test-drives and teaching purposes. Here ERB ET 6.02 passing Wuppertal-Unterbarmen on 2nd of July 2009. The wonderfull German state bureaucracy was unable to homologate the EMUs with five cars untill now. So service on line RE13 is not really possible. Eurobahn hopes to fullfill whole time-table during the Holydays...
