alex Bm 50 46 21-33 137-1, ex DR Bomz 236 (Halberstadt 1991). Refurbishment for alex
includes new seat covers, one toilet was replaced by a bicycle compartment, and a new
paint (not everyone likes this livery). Soon EuroThurbo will give up its involvement
in alex, which will then be operated by Arriva/Länderbahn only. The trains will
run to Oberstdorf and Lindau for the next ten years; the rolling stock will be given
another overhaul with new seat covers and a livery in Arriva turquoise with light grey
and a yellow stripe. Additional cars are being rebuilt at this moment.
