You think the fact that a workshop was closed made no difference?

For trains delivered as ordered? No.


Technical problems can always occur.

No company keeps staff around for "something could happen", at least not
beyond certain reserves (for sickness, major events, etc)


But citing that as the core reason
for the disruption is missing the point. With the right staff any
consequences to the service could have been avoided.

Certainly not, because /almost any/ train has had the same problem.

And it is completely impossible, to run the S-Bahn in Berlin with the
maintenance crewing of the 1960s. Berlin no longer receives those
generous "front city" subsidies of Iron Curtain days, and simply can't
afford to produce the train kilometer at a much higher cost than other
cities in Germany - regardless wether produced by a private company or
an administration.

Having all the 485 available, instead of mothballing or scrapping them,
could have generated quite some relief.
