For those that say the Europeans dont follow our method of rail competition. The Berlin Senate has just voted to split the 331km S-Bahn network into three seperate 15 year concessions to increase competition starting from the end of the current DB franchise in 2017.
The three service groups will be:
North-South
East-West
Ring & Branches, the first to be tendered will recieve 1.2bn Euros in subsidy including 600m Euros to purchase 190 two car EMU's as DB Regio has refused to sell its fleet of 541 two car sets.
