==Formation== Every Class C train consists of six cars, which are connected by gangways allowing passengers to walk through the whole train.

==History== The first trains, classified as C1.9, were ordered in 1997, with deliveries beginning in 2001.<ref name="Pabst2006"/> Weak spots on the couplers were discovered during test runs, leading to the trains not being approved by the authorities.
