The railcars of series 430 are S-Bahn railcars that the traits of since April 2013 420 series in Stuttgart's S-Bahn network , and since the beginning of 2014 in the Rhine-Main S-Bahn replace. Originally, they should also be used on the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn .

General

The 430 series was designed as the successor to the 422/423 series for Stuttgart and was intended to replace the 420 series vehicles still used in the network there. The tender was issued in January 2007. Later it was announced that the 422 series used by the S-Bahn Rhein-Ruhr will no longer be built, but that vehicles of the 430 series should also be delivered there, although in April 2011 it turned out that probably no further vehicles are required in the Rhine-Ruhr area. In May 2009, Deutsche Bahn placed the order for the construction of 83 vehicles with the companies Bombardier and Alstom. This order is valued at 452 million euros. In addition, an option for the construction of 83 additional vehicles was agreed. In December 2010, Deutsche Bahn increased the option from 83 to 166. This increase is related to the tender for the Rhein-Main S-Bahn .

Around 70 designers at Bombardier and Alstom were entrusted with developing the vehicles. Final assembly began in November 2010 in Salzgitter and in May 2011 in Aachen.

According to the manufacturer's original plans, the 430 series should have received approval by June 2012. However, this schedule could not be kept. On February 21, 2013, the vehicles of the 430 series were initially only approved for short train operation by the Federal Railway Authority due to problems with the multiple control . The approval for full and long trains took place on March 25, 2013. Since April 8, 2013, the acceptance by DB Regio from the manufacturer Bombardier.

Stuttgart

Class 430 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn in Herrenberg station

On April 3, 2009, the Stuttgart Region Association and DB Regio signed a new transport contract that ran from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2028. This also included the procurement of 83 new class 430 multiple units. In May 2009 the order to develop and manufacture the vehicles was placed.

The ninety remaining railcars of the 420 series of the Stuttgart S-Bahn were to be replaced in 2013 by 83 trains of the 430 series of multiple units specially developed for the Stuttgart S-Bahn. The vehicle price provided for in the Stuttgart S-Bahn transport contract is 5.6 million euros.

In October 2011, the Transport Committee of the Stuttgart Region Association decided to order four more vehicles of the 430 series for the Stuttgart S-Bahn in order to be able to cover additional services. The additional costs of 23 million euros due for this are financed by the penalty payment that was due due to the vehicles not being made available on time. The 87 vehicles cost a total of around 500 million euros.

The use of the 430 series in Stuttgart was originally supposed to begin at the end of 2012 and be the first nationwide. At the beginning of the transport contract on June 1, 2013, all 87 vehicles ordered should be available; ultimately, this was only the case in January 2015.

The trains were approved on April 4, 2013. On April 25, 2013, the first trains of the 430 series ran on the S1 line from Plochingen to Böblingen. At that time, twelve vehicles were available. The remaining trains were delivered by the end of 2014.

In June 2013, several multiple units stopped due to problems with the door and footboard controls. As a result, initially only three of the twelve multiple units delivered up to that point were used and also accompanied by technicians. After a multiple unit had remained standing on the platform for 26 minutes with the doors open on July 2, 2013, the Deutsche Bahn decided to cancel its operation and return all multiple units to the manufacturer for repair. The acceptance of further vehicles was initially stopped. According to information from the manufacturer at the time, mechanical and electronic adjustments were necessary to rectify the problem, some of which made a new approval necessary. From the timetable change on December 15, 2013, the multiple units ran again as planned on the S1 line, but the extendable steps have been switched off until further notice. From January 16, 2014, the multiple units also ran on a trial basis on line S2 (Remsbahn). On April 4, 2014, the S1 was completely converted to the 430 series (with the exception of a few short runners between Schwabstrasse and Esslingen / Plochingen). Since August 18, 2014, only trains of the 430 series have been running on the S3. With the delivery of the remaining trains, operations on the S2 were also changed.

By the end of April 2014, 36 trains had been accepted. Part of the purchase price was initially withheld due to the technical problems. At the beginning of 2015, all 87 trains ordered were in operation, but with the sliding step switched off.

After the new transport contract for the Stuttgart S-Bahn was signed, Bombardier offered Deutsche Bahn additional multiple units of the 430 series for planned service improvements. The vehicles should have been ordered by July 31, 2014; delivery was scheduled for April 30, 2017. With a minimum purchase of ten vehicles, the price was put at 8.15 million euros per vehicle. The unit price should drop to 6.9 million euros for 24 vehicles. The Stuttgart Region Association rejected this award. At the end of October 2014, Bombardier made a new offer to Deutsche Bahn. On December 3, 2014, the Stuttgart region decided to purchase it. This should also enable rollover turns at four terminal stops, upgrade some full trains to long trains and cover the vehicle requirements for the S-Bahn extension to Neuhausen. The ten newly acquired multiple units are to be delivered between July and December 2016. On August 12, 2016, the first reordered railcar was delivered, the 430 088. The last multiple unit was delivered on February 1, 2017.

A new solution for the sliding steps has been tested in operation since January 2016 and is to be installed in all trains by mid-2017 [obsolete] .

With a software update, a selective shutdown of units in the shutdown was retrofitted. Further software updates are to be used to further reduce door opening times (with sliding steps). The time for a complete door opening and closing process is expected to be 14 seconds. The doors only open when the sliding steps are fully extended. While the time required for closing and opening the doors is unchanged compared to the 423 series, according to the DB, the sliding steps take an additional 4 seconds.

On January 30, 2019, the regional assembly in Stuttgart decided to procure 56 additional class 430 multiple units. Two more multiple units are being procured from DB Regio in parallel. The S-Bahn fleet in Stuttgart will thus comprise a total of 215 multiple units in the future.

The contract to equip the multiple units with ETCS and ATO was put out to tender in July 2020. The trains should u. a. Level 3 capable, equipped with train integrity monitoring and prepared for FRMCS . The project is scheduled to start in January 2021 and run until December 2027. The equipping of a first multiple unit (first in class) is to begin in October 2021, and test and preliminary operations will begin in April 2024. All vehicles are to be equipped with ETCS Level 2 (according to Baseline 3 Release 2 ) and ATO (with static timetable data) by January 2025 . In the years 2026 and 2027, the continuous commissioning and approval according to TSI ZZS 2022 , including further "innovations", should take place.

Rhine-Main

In November 2011, the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund announced that the 420 series vehicles still in use would be replaced by 430 series railcars after the S-Bahn network had been tendered for the 2014/15 timetable change. This is part of the contract between RMV and DB. According to this, 91 railcars are to be procured that will be used on lines S1, S7, S8 and S9 . In December 2011, Deutsche Bahn and Bombardier announced that Deutsche Bahn had ordered ninety multiple units for the Rhein-Main S-Bahn. Ultimately, according to contradicting statements, 91 railcars were built. At the beginning of 2014, the trains were used for the first time on the Frankfurt route network for test and training purposes.

In March 2014, the Federal Railway Authority approved the trains. By the end of April 2014, Deutsche Bahn had accepted six trains. On May 5, 2014, the first passenger service of the 430 series in the Rhine-Main area took place on the S1 lines (Wiesbaden Hbf - Rödermark-Ober Roden) and the S8 reinforcement courses between Frankfurt Hbf and Kelsterbach. Almost three weeks later, the S7 was completely converted to the 430 series on May 23, 2014. Three months later, the S1 (Wiesbaden Hbf - Rödermark-Ober Roden) was completely converted on August 25, 2014. The new 430 series vehicles have also been running on the S8 and S9 S-Bahn lines since November 2014. From 2018 to 2020, the 430 series vehicles will gradually be replaced by 14 425 series vehicles on the S7 . They better match the platform heights along this line. The vehicles that will become available will be used to strengthen connections on the remaining lines.

In November 2019, the procurement of seven more multiple units became known. The seven multiple units are scheduled for delivery between May and June 2023.

Originally planned assignments for the Cologne S-Bahn

Part of the planning for the expansion of the S-Bahn network of the Cologne S-Bahn was a deployment of the ET430 on the S11 (Düsseldorf Airport-Bergisch Gladbach via Cologne). 26 of these trains are to be ordered, 25 ET423s should go from the S-Bahn Cologne to the S-Bahn Munich to replace the ET420 there. However, this plan was not pursued by the Bavarian Railway Company, so that no changes can be assumed for the Cologne S-Bahn.

Originally planned operations on the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn

In December 2009 the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr announced that the 430 series would also be used on the Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn . The delivery of the vehicles should be completed by the end of 2012. A total of 116 vehicles from the 422 and 430 series should then be used in the VRR. In April 2011, it became known that the order for the additional railcars for the Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn had been canceled. The reason given was the upcoming invitation to tender for the connected S-Bahn lines S5 and S8 by the VRR. Since three-part Alstom Coradia Continental vehicles of the 1440 series have been in use there since the timetable change in December 2014 , the stock of 422 series trains is sufficient for operation on the other S1, S2, S3, S4, S6 and S9 lines.

In November 2019, the VRR announced that new Stadler Flirt3XL trains will run on lines S 2, S 3, S 9, S 28, RB 32, RB 40 and RE 49 in the future. 41 new multiple units were acquired for this purpose. Lines S 1 and S 4 will continue to be served by class 422 trains, which have been completely overhauled.

Technology and equipment

430 series passenger compartment

The fully accessible and air-conditioned multiple units of the 430 series are similar to those of the 422 series . The multiple units ordered for Stuttgart are equipped with a gap-bridging system to prevent accidents getting on and off. They are also equipped with video surveillance with 16 cameras per short train, have glazed shelves and LED lighting. In each train, they offer eight screens with connection information on S-Bahn, regional and long-distance trains in real time. As soon as the technical requirements for this are in place, light rail connections should also be taken into account. Furthermore, the trains emit less noise when starting than the trains of the 423 series, which are also used in Stuttgart . Compared to the vehicles to be replaced from the 420 series , the energy consumption is significantly lower.

The car bodies are made from continuously cast profiles. The transitions between the cars have corrugated bellows. The cooling and air conditioning systems are located on the car roofs and are clad with continuous cladding. The single-arm pantograph is located on the second car roof. Three trains can be operated as a long train from one driver's cab. Mixed operation with multiple units of other series is not possible.

A short pull has a length over the coupling of 68.3 meters and is thus 0.9 meters longer than the 423 series , but also 1.1 meters shorter than the 422 series. The head, which is clad with fiberglass-reinforced plastic , meets the EN 15227 standard (requirements the collision safety of rail vehicle bodies) and is therefore longer than that of the 423 series, but corresponds to that of the 422 series. The shorter vehicle length compared to the 422 series is achieved by replacing a seating group in the intermediate car with a row of single-row seats with a separate window and the car body is shortened accordingly. This measure was necessary so that a long train with a length of 204.9 meters could still stop at the platforms with a length of 210 meters. The vehicles will have an electrodynamic brake as a service brake, a compressed air brake with magnetic rail brake and a spring-loaded brake as a parking brake. The electrodynamic brake feeds the energy back into the grid. The trains are driven with 157 brake hundredths .

The train is divided into two separate drive systems.

The door control of the twelve doors on each side has been changed compared to the previous 423 series. There are two options for the train driver to release or open the doors:

  1. As with the vehicles of the 423 series, by releasing the exit side and the passengers open the doors themselves by pressing a button.
  2. By preselecting from the train driver that when the doors are released at a standstill, all doors on the exit side are opened.

They also have more hinged windows than the 423 series and larger LED displays at the car transitions for the passenger information system (FIS) in the interior (similar to the 425 series ). The FIS displays on the outside of the vehicle will have two lines and, in addition to the line and destination, now also show the most important Via stops as a treadmill. In addition to the line and station, the FIS inside now also optically shows the current date, time and the exit side with arrows. The passenger seating corresponds to the current corporate identity of the railway for local transport, but with headrests made of leather (previously made of fabric). The seats are ergonomically shaped and padded in the pelvic area. Originally, the trains were to be manufactured by a consortium consisting of Alstom Transport in Salzgitter and Bombardier Transportation in Hennigsdorf . 29 trains are currently being built in Salzgitter, and 54 more at Bombardier in Aachen. Nine vehicles were to be subjected to intensive tests and covered 50,000 kilometers.

A Bombardier EBICAB 500 is used for train protection . Bombardier Mitrac is used as the vehicle control system.

In addition to the FIS, the vehicles have 15 "TFT monitors inside for the Deutsche Bahn's passenger information system (RIS). The following information is currently displayed on these RIS monitors: Current route (pearl necklace) with line, train destination, stations on the way , next stop, exit side, target and actual data of the travel times, connections of buses, light rail, S-Bahn, regional and long-distance trains at junction stations with live data (failure, track change, delay, means of transport can still be reached) In addition, diversions (including additional stops or canceled stops) and premature U-turns can also be displayed for the current journey "Events" can be displayed, ie an additional full-page information image that provides information about planned construction work ("Max Mole").
