Yes your right, 3912mm doesnt leave much scope to work with from a DD vehicle point of view. My mission was to created a light airy space which will be pleasent to travel in unlike the Bullied design, ok to be fair to him he did his best with the scope that was available in 1949 ! My design uses...

Em, i dont think there is a conflict with the patent !!!!!

Passengers would not be permitted to be right at the front of the vehicle and in the crumple zone.

A good approach is to have a few exit only doors too !!

Go to the top of the class !! You are half way there.

You are not far out, C1 static gauge is 12ft 9 1/2 inches above the rail to the highest part of the roof. The space is created through cunning!!

Well im not sure if im "the" Bob Clark, ive been playing with this project for quite a while and have spoken to a fair few people. The design has changed over the years to accomadate the many issues which were raised by both TOC's and the DFT. What has come out of this is a workable solution...

I Guess you are gate-line staff ! ????????

The units/power cars can be 3rd rail, OHL or diesel, there is provision in the vehicle roof section to very quickly install a pan, for instance if the London - Penzance was ellectrified a conversion could be swiftly done. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Yes, the designs will be for...

The design is very innivative as it needed to be, it will operate without any changes to platforms, bridges, tunnels or track circuits. I also will be making public a passenger/freight/parcel vehicle early next year which may be or interest to yourself and the freight industry.

Im not at all bitter and would like to appolagise to members who think that i am. I also understand that it is difficult for people to judge when there is nothing to see !! What i can say is that this train does work, the vehicles are 90ft and bend in the centre. Dr Mike Mitchell of the DFT and...

Construtive opinion is very welcome, its to late for "it doesnt work" If you had designed this train would you post pics of it on the net at this stage? i think not !!

European and USA DD trains do waste a lot of space due to the fact they have a lot of space!! This design runs within C1 static gauge and uses space very wisely, extra capacity is about 80%, i would like to post CAD's but this is commercialy sensative right now.

No this train runs within C1 gauge so no problems. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Bullied tried it and did his best at the time, this is very different. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- The train runs within C1, the dwell times have been very well thaught about...

I am a rolling stock design engineer, i would be interested to hear the opinion of the people here regarding double deck trains here in the UK. I have an interesting suite of designs which will be launced early next year, these are both for passenger and frieght.

The end product will be in many guises, it will be available as a multiple (375/377) type config or an HST, I have also designed a few vehicles which will really turn heads next year when i go public. Hopefully the DFT will play ball, my problem is though that even though i have 16 years under...

There is no need to bend double on this train !! Bullied did the best with what he had to work with at the time i guess, my design boasts 6'6 headroom and has been designed with 15 years as a type test and commissioning engineer's worth of experience. Next step mock up !!

No, there are no clearence issues, this fact has been ironed out by the Lloyds of London and DFT gauging expert.

With reference to the HST2 project, i have an interesting design which could turn this and some other routes on there head, a duplex which works within C1 !!! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Im new on this forum and have been trawling around various chats and threads, i was very...
