Two units for persons with reduced mobility, BD
79001 and BD 79002, are delivered and
currently under testing. Unit BD 79002 is being
tested in a regular train but is completely sealed off from
passengers. The main focus is on evaluating the gaps (both in
distance and height) between the carriages and raised platforms,
particularly in curved sections of the track. When the door to the
multipurpose area is operated, a bridge plate extends to close the
gap between the train and the platform edge. Once these tests are
successfully completed, the homologation process can be finalized.
The delivery of additional carriages awaits the outcome of these
tests.
