Abstract
Since 1995 LEP is operated with the new bunch train scheme. This scheme allows head-on collisions of four trains of up to four bunches within a train. The first experience with this new scheme and the problems encountered during the commissioning and the operation are reviewed and discussed. The performance of LEP and the results from dedicated experiments are shown and compared with expectations. The modifications and improvements to allow a successful operation at LEP2 energies are discussed and the performance at energies above 80 GeV is presented
