  • @MrNikolaiHS They are actually very new. They have onboard computers that control the reservations any reservation will be displayed above the seats and if no-one sits on them within a certain time period they will be un-reserved and if someone sits on them after with out a reservation on, the conductor will be notified and can come and check.

    They are comfortable, but are probaly better for the Danes as they are made in a comfort zone called the "mormor" comfort, cosy and very comfortable.

  • These trains went into service in Denmark in the late 1980'ies and the early 1990'ies. Calling them "new" and "comfortable" might be an exaggeration, but there has to be some truth to it, as these trains still run succesfully in Denmark after over 20 years of active service. :-)

  • @trainmaster500, Actually you had THOSE trains specifically. Several of the first IC3 train sets which ABB Scania (later Adtranz, now Bombardier) sold to ISR were then loaned to AMTRAK and VIA RAIL in North American for some time for trials across the continent. They were then returned to Israel. This was a while ago, maybe 15 years or so.

  • nice video... we had similar trains under testing in Canada but nothing materialized from it.
