Hello Daniel,

it looks like CD has begun trials of the new Class 380 electric locos.
Is there a chance that we will see these locos in Germany someday (Eurocity services)?
At least, the Class 380 is multi-voltage, but I'm not sure if these machines have LZB equipment (which is needed for speeds over 160 km/h in Germany).

Cheers,

Oscar (NL).

Trans-Europ-Express 2.0? Abwarten und TEE trinken!

Schienenstränge enden nicht an einer Staatsgrenze, sondern an einem Prellbock.

Das ist doch die Lok die vor zwei Jahren in Berlin zu sehen war. Mich als Lokführer konnte die Lok nicht überzeugen, aber wer weiß was in den vergangenen zwei Jahren alles verbessert wurde.
