PTI darkness testing

It will be all week unless there's an unforseen problem.

Do you believe everything you read?

re read what I said. In service max speed of eurostar is 186MPH, this is governed by and only governed by the track. The track can't cope for speed over 186mph. The land speed record in the UK was set by a eurostar that had slightly bigger wheels to change the ratio. So a standard eurostar...

the trains arent too long. many of times they run to capacity. power to weight doesn't mean anything as the top speed they can go is 180 mph in service. if there was no restriction then 200 is achievable. so no matter how much power or how light it is, top speed wont change. as for your second...

you was on nights? what team? my team was ssc1 dereck was my team leader. to the others, the louvers on the side is to allow air into the power car for the transformer and bm's and to allow hot air out. the transformers suck air from the sides, goes through the rads then out the top of the...

I wonder if this refurb will be as crap as the last!

R1 and R2 share a bogie. R8 and R9 share a bogie. R= Remorque. Tell anyone on team SSC I said Hi, say it's 'two puds'. Also tell any of the great storemen I said Hi.

i also got an email back saying i have been shortlisted and that i will be given a date for an assesment. sorry to those who didn't get through

thats wrong. eurostar have two traction motors per half set on the front end R1 bogie 3. Thats four traction motors on trailers for the whole set.

The use of PLC's dont aid the size. Modern technology can produce more power then the 373 and be alot smaller. The technology is old and that is the determining factor for the size of the power car. Most TGV's have two BM's per power car only, same as the eurostar, except the eurostar has an...

But the Eurostar has more power then most other tgv's. I really don't get what your debate is. I pointed out some factual points and your comparing tgv to eurostars. The fact is for comparison that Eurostar have never run in service as a half set. The secability at the R9's is for emergency...

Just a few points here. Most TGV's are 200m long same as the Eurostar. The Eurostar is a petite TGV restricted in size due to the tunnel and the Brittish gauge. You say 'due to the length of the train, remember a single Eurostar powercar is hauling about the same as 2 TGV powercars' this is...

Thats ok and yes i did misinterpret your post I apologise.

Also agree this is what it sounds like.
