We visit a massive German Train Factory – Alstom’s Hennigsdorf facility near Berlin

On a recent trip to Berlin to attend the InnoTrans 2026 railway trade show, we had the opportunity to tour Alstom’s massive Hennigsdorf facility to the north west of Berlin.

Whilst there, we saw the Avelia Stream Nordic EMU and new S Bahn stock for Hamburg and Munich, with the Munich stock being equipped for remote operation. We travelled on it whilst it was being driven from InnoTrans over 20km away!

And to travel to and from the factory, we had our very own Coradia Continental Battery Electric Multiple Unit.
