This train is a new Stadler FLIRT 3 XL. GoAhead has these both as three coaches long and as five coaches long. This one
ia a five coaches long variant. GoAhead ordered 11 of these as three coaches long and 15 five coaches long variants. There
were serious problems and delays in getting these to service. Now GoAhead uses them
especially in the services between Stuttgart and Nürnberg. Due to the delays GoAhead had to rent temporary trains, originally
intended to be used only until 2020, but which in the summer of 2023 were still replacing these trains.
