Abstract

Immediately after the commissioning of the new fully-automatic U3 metro line, VAG Vergkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft Nurnberg and Siemens AG, the generalcontractor, started to automate the existing Nurnberg U2 metro line (Rothenbach - Nuremberg Airport) in the summer of 2008. The U3 is Germany's first fully-automated metro line, which also runs in mixed operation with theconventional U2 line on a shared track. This article describes the success of the U3 so far; its availability, operations, vehicle doors and operations; and the U2 conversion to start at the end of 2009.
