Apart from the prototype set, have any of the other “Siemens TR” sets entered passenger service yet? If so, which routes are they used on?
Velaro D is the only one in service. Probably all other 5 are on test.
Interestingly, only 6 og 8 wagons of Velaro is on sale in Eybis. Probably because, TCDD wants to keep the right to replace it by one CAF anytime needed. TCDD must have been looking forward to starting the Velaro TRs asap.
