More than a year out of service! Due to serious issues with vibrations during higher speeds, DDZ were taken out of service as a precautionary measure in 2020-2021. On 23 August 2019 the world still seems OK for DDZ like 7645 passing here at Hulten.

NS 7533 passes through Alverna on 18 March 2025. This Class of EMUs came to be as a rebuild of mDDM EMUs that themselves were formerly hauled by NS Class 1700 electrics untill 2000, when fifty driving trailers replaced as many 1700s to form Class mDDM (motorised DDM; being the double deck coaches for regional and urban services) 7800. From 2013 the mDDMs were given a mid-life overhaul, getting transformed into InterCity EMUs Classes 7500 (four coach EMUs) and 7600 (six coach EMUs) of the NID/DDZ design. 
