On a recent trip to Germany with my school me, my exchange partner and his father went from Jülbach (south Germany, border with Austria) to Munich by train.
The first train I went on was a class 628 DMU from Jülbach to Mühldorf. These units are similar to Pacers except not made from Bus Parts. They had three doors on each side and a small first class section.
We then got on the Munich train which was a Double Decker Push-Pull set with a german loco on the back.
On the way back we went on Munichs underground system which are class 423 EMU's with a Pantograph which at Munich East Station cam above the ground and on to Grafing.
Some of these trains are better ideas to what we have today e.g. Double Deckers, Push Pull etc.
What do you think-heres some shots of the trains on websites
