Munich: Avenio T2/ T4 First day of operation - Two-parter on line 12 (2018)For skippers: trip from (Leonrodpl.-Babarastr.) from 3:17. From 6:03 the quarter. From 9:09 the new (updated) messages. INFO: Presented the day before in the depot during test drives and vehicle parade - a day later finally in passenger service. But there's something fishy here, isn't there? Of course, because by design the two-piece suits were never meant to be worn individually. 9 two-part and 9 three-part Avenios were ordered, which were only to be used in double-haul on line 20. This is unfortunately made difficult by our technical supervisory authority (again and again) because the three-part vehicles (T3.7) have not yet been approved for test driving. The approval for possible towing of both two-part vehicles is sought earlier than the approval of the three-part vehicles. Four four-piece trains (T4.7) were also delivered in this delivery batch, all four of which celebrated their first use on line 19 on Monday. Compared to the 8 Avenios (T1.6) of the first series, it was possible to implement additional fine-tuning for the MVG. A new front design was necessary to be able to integrate the clutch well. Five courses of these two-part trains are now used on line 12, because the passenger volume is more manageable than on other lines. Another option would have been to convert the section into a bus connection, as there is a lack of vehicles. Of course, I've also integrated a few scenes into this video from the four-part series, the new announcements and the Avenio T1.6. I am very happy to hear your suggestions and your opinion. I apologize profusely for wind noise and "camera shake." The weather conditions were not good either.By trams_trains - December 12, 2018.
