So selected, in fact, that the DB is currently procuring over 300 ICEs limited to 250 km/h, and a grand total of 17 (with an option of up to two more!) that peak at 320 km/h.
I'll call myself lucky if the train manages 180 km/h on my usual routes.
- welterde 11y agoYou dropped the small detail that those new ICEs are going to replace IC and EC trains first. And those usually run below 250 km/h. And only in a later phase they are going to replace ICE 1 and ICE 2 trains, which can only go 280 km/h.. so not a huge downgrade. They are not a replacement for those trains running fast services (with legs with 300 km/h in them).
