I understand your arguments. I don't presume when would DD trains operate in UK, I have only presented you my design, which makes DD EMU more efficient. I can imagine 6 double-leaf doors per car... Axle-load is naturally higher, but total weight is lower. Common bogie design is very track...

Are you sure? How many seconds will make the difference? The entrance vestibules are large. It's really difficult to correctly estimate. Let's make or find the study how many people board where. This study calculate with motor the outer wheelsets of common bogies - using cardan shaft. It gives...

Thank you for all your responses. I have some additional parameters for you: Distance between common bogies 23 300 mm Distance between pivots 17 300 mm (they are not in bogie center) Length of intermediate carbodies 23 000 mm Height of entrance level 1 100 mm If we discuss about dwell...

Hello, I feel concern about use of double deck trains. Technical issues are evidently known (gauge height, gauge width up to platform level etc.), but economical and capacity benefits are supposed only for universally designed vehicles, derived from european DD cars. I tried to design a...
