Stadler has presented its electric multiple unit for the S7 line between Berne and Worb, in association with RBS.

The one-metre gauge trains will run according to a fast-paced timetable and have been tailored to the needs of this extremely busy route.

Before launching its invitation to tender, RBS invited passengers to take part in a competition and submit their ideas for the trains.

In June 2016 Regionalverkehr Bern-Solothurn (RBS) has ordered 14 four-car regional trains for the S7 line between Berne and Worb.

The four-car electric multiple-units are walkable along their length and are designed to be operated at a maximum speed of 100 km/h, whilst seating 130 passengers.

The train has eight instead of six pairs of doors along the 60 metres of its length.

The authorization tests have already started, having begun in August 2018.

The first Worbla will begin scheduled operations at the end of 2018. By the end of 2019, all the new S7 vehicles will be in operation to replace the old “Mandarinl i” trains.
