Standzüge

English translation: reserve trains

Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Operations control system for Berlin metro
German term or phrase: Standzüge
Standzüge organisieren

I'm afraid that this is alll the context there is apart from the fact that "Zählzüge" and "Schulzüge" are mentioned elsewhere in the text. Zählzüge are apparently trains with sensors that count the number of passengers getting on and off.
