context_page_description: TCDD HT80000 is a series of high-speed electric multiple units built by Siemens for the Turkish State Railways. The EMUs are used for the Yüksek Hızlı Tren services on the Turkish high-speed railway network and especially on the Polatlı–Konya high-speed railway, where they can reach a maximum speed of 300 km/h.
context_section_description: In 2013 TCDD concluded three contracts with Siemens for the acquisition of these seventeen units (1 unit for the first, 6 for the second and 10 for the last contract). Furthermore, Siemens would provide 7 years of maintenance and cleaning, and also provide a simulator.
  But in the end of 2014, the third contract on the last 10 sets was canceled by the Public Tender Committee of Turkey because of a missing certificate. The bids for 10 high-speed train sets were repeated on 30 January 2017 with Siemens having proposed the Velaro TR again against Alstom and CAF.
  In September 2013, the first set - a train originally intended for operation in Germany - was sent east for testing. Siemens also sent a Vectron MS demonstrator locomotive along with the Velaro train to Turkey. This first unit entered service on 23 May 2015 between Ankara and Konya. 
  The second unit (but the first produced for TCDD) departed from Germany on 29 January 2016 and reached Ankara on 17 February 2016. But the entry to service did not happen progressively and the 6 Velaro TR entered service on 10 March 2017.
