Swiss Regional Train - InterRegio Chur-St.Gallen |
| Description: |
Out of 62 double-deck Class 502 ordered, 30 rains as an eight-part, 200-meter-long version IR 200 with 696 seats. They have 10% higher seat capacity than the Re 460 / IC2000 standard double deck coach trains. This was achieved with the distributed drive system in which twelve traction motors are used in the bogies of eight-part units and the positioning of the pantograph at the front and back end of the EMU. Hence, the train has two open decks and gangways from front to end. |

Swiss Regional Train - InterRegio Chur-St.Gallen |
| Description: |
The IR 200, as the four car IR 100 and its intercity counterpart IC 200, is characterized by a variant of the tilting technology, called WAKO (passive roll compensation). In contrast to active tilting technology, which allows a tilt of up to 8°, here it is only 2°. The WAKO is more fail-safe due to the lower technical complexity of the system. With the roll compensation, depending on the elevation, curves can be traversed approx. 9 to 15 percent faster. |

Swiss Regional Train - InterRegio Chur-St.Gallen |
| Description: |
Originally, SBB and Bombardier planned to gradually put the Class 502 into operation from December 2013. Due to planning errors in the car body, which would have made it impossible to use it in the Gotthard Base Tunnel, and the complaint by disabled people's associations about the accommodation of wheelchair users in the dining car and other items, the operation launch has been delayed until 2019. |
