Yes I know that, but that's not answering my question, so I try again.
HOW did they build the subway? Machines, methods etc.

***Kenny*** · November 22nd, 2009, 02:35 AM

I love the pictures of the old stations (pre- WWII), do you guys have any more pics?
And, are they modernizing all the stations?

What is that? The Barbie Airport Express

? Glad they redid the interiors on those trains. My girlfriend and I may be visiting Berlin as part of our honeymoon this coming summer.

Come on, it's just to prevent vandalism on trains, the pattern on the walls and seats is to make tags unvisible and therefore prevent them.

Falubaz,but why pink (instead of so common there yellow)?

Justme · December 20th, 2009, 03:33 PM

it was still hiddeous. Somehow that is vandalism to our eyes.

Rebasepoiss · December 20th, 2009, 04:36 PM

The same patterns with only black and white wouldn't look too bad.

Are the S-Bahn's problems over? Are all lines and trains running now?

Not entirely. Service on two rather peripheral lines, S45 and S85, has not yet recommenced. While every other line seems to be served as frequently as it used to be.

Thanks for the update!

Unfortunately, the services have been reduced once again. This time, the reason is "seasonal malfunctions". Due to harsh weather, several trains showed problems and had to be withdrawn. In an ordinary year, the reserve trains could compensate for this, but as the reserve contingent is presently zero due to the ongoing inspections, transport has once again been thinned out.

mopc · December 26th, 2009, 01:46 AM

@City thing: it's Warschauer.

My God. Very bad PR for the Berlin S-Bahn...

Alargule · February 27th, 2010, 04:24 PM

In Berlin, the current U5 and U55 lines should be linked together to form the extended U5 line. The missing section should be built between Brandenburger Tor (current terminal for U55) and Alexanderplatz (current terminal for U5).

Construction should begin in 2010 - that's this year. Anyone who has any (insider) info on whether, when and where exactly construction should begin this year?

Falubaz · February 27th, 2010, 09:33 PM

i have my doubts about that. I think the construction of the remaining stretch to conect u5 and u55 will be postponed... again.

Yetzirah231 · February 27th, 2010, 10:07 PM

I also have my doubts. But it doesn't seem to cost that much, although Berlin is off course more or the less bankrupt...

But:

====================== 11th of November 2009:

German capital city Berlin's transport operator Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe has approved a €433m project to build an underground extension of metro line U5.

The 2.2km underground section will run between Alexanderplatz and Brandenburger Tor and will link the recently opened 1.5km U55 shuttle between Brandenburger Tor and Hauptbahnhof into line U5.

The project includes building stations at Berliner Rathaus, Museuminsel and Unter den Linden.

Preparatory work is scheduled to begin in early 2010 with the extension expected to open in 2017.

http://www.railway-technology.com/news/news69504.html

Afterwards it should be extended to: Berlin Jungfernheide, let's see it when I'm 84...
The extention to Doivendreckt could be a little too expensive.

Falubaz · February 27th, 2010, 11:02 PM

What?
7 years to build just 2,2km of metro! that's a joke! In seven years 2 people could dig that effin tunnel with their own hands!
