Info about the original
“IC 2” is the name for the DB Fernverkehr AG TWINDEXX Vario® trains introduced following the timetable change on 13 December 2015. Back in 2010, Bombardier Transportation received the first order for 27 five-part double-deck trains in combination with the BR 146.5 locomotives from a previously-concluded framework contract with DB AG for a total of 800 double-deck trains. An order was placed for a further 17 trains in March 2015. The TWINDEXX Vario® is a further development of the tried-and-trusted double-deck platform from Görlitz. The top speed of the trains is 160 km/h. The IC 2 gradually replaced all previous IC trains in the new long-distance traffic concept from DB Fernverkehr AG. After the timetable change, the first routes for these trains were Leipzig – Norddeich Mole, Dresden – Cologne and Koblenz – Norddeich Mole.
