@driverbod125 @SpeedySticks007 @LevelBoarding @DavidPo22194359 Meanwhile in France, borderline internal ladder!
@driverbod125 @SpeedySticks007 @LevelBoarding @DavidPo22194359 Suspension looks a lot beefier on a 755, which I guess isn't surprising given the 777s max out at 75mph, can't imagine their routes have much opportunity to hit that speed!
@SpeedySticks007 Indeed, not so much luck on the TGV though. The newish Oceane double deck units are platform level, albeit with immediate internal staircases! Presumably the double deck TGV has level access wherever the wheelchair spaces are located. Regional trains very good though.
Back in the land of Jacobs bogies
@KentishHack Once you remember policy No.1 is NIMBY, it all vaguely makes sense. Sustainable travel and power, just nowhere close and ideally in a different country
Busman's holiday underway
@BBCTomEdwards @SouthEastRailGp @SpeedySticks007 @LevelBoarding Not at 1145mm height of the Elizabeth line fleet. You can with a part low-floor - e.g. 960mm of the Stadler FLIRT on GA's regional services. Impact of the bogies does seem to mean one, rather than three sets of doors per car though which hypothetically would reduce throughput.
Interesting and I suspect a stronger shift than the equivalent TfL study will show, although similar trends. I was hoping for modal shift. Cynic suggests "I have a car and do not want to pay more for travel" from the accompanying survey is the challenge here. Carrots & sticks?
Transport Scotland yesterday published its interim evaluation report on the scrapping of ScotRail peak fares. Rail journeys are *down*. In other words: fewer people are using the train, and those lucky few are paying less for their journeys. But everyone else is paying more…
@KentishHack I think this is SE incentivising me getting up at 0600
@JeremyWesthead @SteveWhiteRail @Se_Railway @NetworkRailSE @greateranglia It'll count as a part cancellation and not in the OT figure, as needs to call at all scheduled stations.
@Richard_Amm I think you mean Crossrail in this section. TL has a similar challenge with humps in the core - albeit far more removable than redoing all of Crossrail... Also doesn't serve Heathrow as a route.
This presumably can't do much good for dwell time at peak, plus presumably higher axle loads due to the bogie design. MR's Class 777s deliver 1.5 doors per carriage which is better, but the top speed is low. Is there a UK low-floor design which can do 2 doors per carriage?
This has caused me to take a closer look at Stadler's offer as I do not believe they bid for the EL, may of course been ruled out by the tender spec / the year it took place. What I had not noticed before is GA's 745s are single door vs triple door for the Elizabeth line /
@BBCTomEdwards @philatrail @cmajrail @BBCLondonNews Trains are the wrong height, raised platform would be demolished by the next passing freight train. Raising the platforms only really works in fully segregated sections like the core itself

@flowergirl_lon @JordanNicholls @LucyGoBag @TLRailUK Nah, one of the good things of the UK system. School holidays to be fair, but this ain't exactly wonderful availability 2+ months out. You do get a seat though!
@flowergirl_lon @JordanNicholls @LucyGoBag @TLRailUK Only way to do that is to go for the French option, reservation only and no TUAG. While obviously horrendous, the likelihood of being involved in a serious rail crash is very small, unlike a coach or cars where seat belts make much more sense given the much higher risk involved.
@flowergirl_lon @JordanNicholls @LucyGoBag @TLRailUK You captured it, people are not dense enough to pose an issue from an engineering standpoint & limited width of the train with doors on the side limits potential crowding force like on the underground. You close platforms & put queues in if it looks to be getting super busy.
