Not really 😅 the System does not have enough capacity for such a large City with over one Million people. They made a big mistake not building a metro.
@@nicolasblume1046that’s true. In the 60s, no one predicted that cologne is going to be a city with a population over 1 million habitants and here we are with our crap system.
1.4million Yeah, it's worse The 16 and 18 Go all the way to Bonn with 350k inhabitans, the 7 goes to Frechen and the 1 goes to Bergisch Gladbach so yeah, WE URGENTLY need a Metro the light rail isn't meant to Serve 1.4 mil people@@SuperUnbenannt
Stadtbahnwagen Typ B: Series 2000: not present Series 2100: now refurbished 2400 Series 2200: 09:00 Series 2300 11:51 Refurbished series 2400: 02:30 Series 9300 from Bonn Stadtbahn: 11:48 K4000 00:08 K4500 00:50 K5000: 5100 series 03:00 5200 series 09:50 HF6 02:00 Most series grouped together can couple and operate together. While series 2000 to 2300 have significant differences (e.g. drivers cabs on both vs one end), they were all manufactured by the same company. The K4000 and K4500 can couple, but aren't coupled together in regular service. The series 5100 and 5200 are virtually indistinguishable. The K5000 was developed for cologne later being used in Manchester (M5000) as well. The K4000 was also developed for cologne, and is now called the Flexity Swift family by Bombardier, used in Tramlink (CR4000) as well
Die Serie 2000 ist heute nicht mehr im Linienverkehr unterwegs. Sie wird nur noch als fahrschulwagen verwendet und das hauptsächlich in der EBO Ausbildung.
I really don't feel that way. Small, overcrowded trains and stations, slow speed due to the lack of grade seperation, mediocre headways. I think Cologne and it's region really would deserve a proper metro. The length of the system with 200km of track is very impressive though, longer than any of the real metros in Germany.
@@PHONELAS7 Also Berlin has a good S-Bahn, which is very well connected to the Metro. I'd take Berlin's transit system over Cologne's any day of the week.
Fun fact: This iconic video (m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oI9B7qWXV9Q.html) happened at the underground section of Cologne's main station. I checked if the hole was still there in summer 2022 and it still was.
