Corrections to Basel news

A correspondent has pointed out some errors in news items concerning Basel on this page:

• 18.08.04: The fire service were called at 17:40, but it is claimed the fire had been detected earlier and damage could have been contained by a more speedy reaction.

• 19.08.04: B3 trailer 708 (destroyed in the fire at Wiesenplatz depot on 18th August) is a three axle trailer (not two-axle as previously suggested).

• 01.09.04: The Bern cars are not permanently withdrawn but are temporarily out of service because no suitable lathe is currently available for attending to the wheels. See also www.guido-studer.ch.
