@thekla but wait, what was alstom train name in the end ?

Stadler names are very fun though. (Add Smile, Wink and Tango. And my German isn't good enough to determine in Spatz has a fun meaning).

@Sobex @thekla Spatz is just the German word for sparrow :3

@MagicLike @Sobex @thekla "Spatz" can also be used as a term of endearment, like "honey" (although I think it's mostly used for kids? But that could just be a regional thing)

@Larymir @MagicLike @Sobex @thekla Not intended in this case though, as they called all their meter-gauge trains for Zentralbahn bird species
