The three millions of the LOB does not fit in the trains, that’s for sure. After all, the S want to create a track to send on the day of the strike, between 5.30 PM and 14 PM 50 additional trips as an amplifier on two routes, namely the S1 (Wannsee-Oranienburg) and the S5 (direction: Strausberg–West cross).
