The BUGA locomotive is no more. In March 2016, DB Regio locomotive 182 013 derailed and had to be taken to the workshop for extensive repairs. Today the machine has been seen in revenue service again, but in its normal red outfit again (and with new bogies). - DSO

[DE] Serie 182 and DB Regio - update
At this moment, Siemens in Munich is busy with modifying the 182 series locomotives for DB Regio. They all get a central door control system for double deck carriages and digital destination displays.
As from today, 182 017 and 023 are part of the fleet of DB Regio, only leaving 182 018-022 and 024-025 with DB Schenker. At the end of the year, all 25 units should run for DB Regio.
In the mean time, Siemens has completed the work on twelve units. One of them is 182 004, still with the special silver Porsche livery. The units that still await modification are operated from Erfurt, on the RB 20 between Eisenach and Halle. - DR

[DE] 182 001 testing for regional services
In several stages, DB Regio took over sixteen 182 series locomotives from DB Schenker;
Yes, they all got their simple DB logo back, and they haul rakes of single deck passenger cars, but that does not mean they are full-fledged passenger locomotives. For getting full permission to push and pull for example a rake of double deck coaches, tests have to be done. Unit 182 001 is on its way at this moment for this purpose, together with 120 203. - SC
By the way, also the 182 023 changed its looks recently. After a repair in Cottbus it lost its Railion DB Logistics logos. However, it is still just a normal DB Schenker locomotives.

[DE] time table changes
As of today, many European countries have new timetables. In Germany this has some consequences for modern electrics:
DB Schenker temporarily hires nine 145 series locomotives to DB Regio, to secure the S1 cityservice around Dresden (Meißen-Dresden-Schöna). They replace 143 series engines that have a top speed of only 120 kph. The 145s will be used until there are more 182 series locomotives, coming from DB Schenker, with an approved package for passenger services.
182 013-016 have been sold by DB Schenker to DB Regio per 07.12.2010. So there are sixteen engines by DB Regio now.
Green and silver Traxx units help out in Nürnberg. There DB Regio hires 185 616-619 and 633-634 to haul trains on the extended S-Bahn network. The Traxx units will run on the S3 line between Neumarkt and Nürnberg. In 2007 DB Regio ordered Talent2 trainsets by Bombardier for this network, but they are not available yet.
On 10.06.2010, three more 182 series locomotives transferred from DB Schenker to DB Regio.; 182 002, 006 and 007. Since 13.06.2010 the DB Regio 182s (001-008) are not only runnig RE-services between Leipzig and Cottbus. There are also some IC and EC-Services included now, for example EC 340/341 and IC 2022/2023 (picture). - AS

[DE] 182 series evaluated by DB Regio
Since this week, DB Schenker's 182 series is evaluated by DB Regio on the Cottbus - Leipzig connection. For this experiment the 182 001 is re-allocated to Cottbus. To be able to judge the performances of the ES 64 U2 platform locomotive in revenue service, 182 001 will haul normal passenger trains up till the time schedule change in December 2009. By then, DB Regio hopes to take over several 182 series machines of DB Schenker. DB Regio is very fond of these powerful (6400kW) and fast (230 kph) locomotives, better fitted out for heavy double stock passenger trains and meeting tight running schedules.
By DB Schenker, the 182 series, which only counts 25 units, has become dispensable since the 185.2 series has got full access to Austria. Back in 2000, the 182 series was specifically purchased for services in and into this Alp-country, after the Austrians refused to provide access to the 152 series. - ML
Note that on 182 001 the Railion DB Logistics logos have been removed and replaced by the good old DB logo. The locomotive was also delivered as such. A small difference in respect to the original DB livery is that there is a more space between the white bars up front.

[DE] the DB about its new corporate identity
In the current issue of Railways (01.2008), a magazine published online by the DB/Railion, an article can be found in which the DB makes clear how its new names, logos and identity will be applied on its rolling stock. For locomotives, not much will change; what was expected becomes reality, all machines will get only a DB logo, because this subscribes the neutral character of DB Schenker and DB Intermodal (Both DB subsidiaries for freight operation) in respect to its customers that operate in the (inter)national logistics market too. - Railways / Railion.com
