The "Meridian" 3-car prototype double-deck EMU, class 445, is still in
experimental phase (and still owned by Bombardier, despite its DBRegio
livery). In the evening of 2001-04-26 I saw it near Leipzig Hbf. The
Photo was taken from a moving train - beware of passing signal masts!
In the background you can see an old E44 locomotive used for train
pre-heating.

Dampflokfest Dresden, 30 April 2000 The double-deck EMU class 445, which is currently being tested, was shown to the public at the steam festival. This train has DBRegio colours, but is still owned by Bombardier. A series of perhaps 30 trains will be ordered after all tests are finished successfully.

the design in the RE 160 cars. Space was gained by making it
slightly curved.
