FPG 898 (the bus in the photo) is a PAZ-3205-110 built in 1999. Biržų autobusų parkas still has some PAZ-672М buses built in the 1980s.

I read somewhere that Electroputere underestimated the time needed to build a Class 56, because they forgot that the locomotives were smaller than continental European designs and the number of fitters who could work inside the locomotive at any one time would therefore be smaller.

It's a heritage route.

The stations were closed when the Seikan Tunnel was converted to dual gauge for the Hokkaido Shinkansen. The speed limit for Shinkansen trains inside the tunnel was initially 140 km/h but has been raised to 160 km/h.

And Czechoslovakia was a Communist dictatorship, so the authorities could simply ignore any protests against the sacrifice of parkland to make way for the station and highway.

The "new" station was built in the 1970s and refurbished in 2011. (I know that you wrote "new (as is currently in vogue)" but people might not realise how old it is.)

Gautrain in South Africa might be interested in those.

The conventional rail network in Taiwan is 1067 mm gauge, like in Japan, and most of it was built when Taiwan was colonised by Japan (1895-1945). This means that Taiwan High Speed Rail is a separate, self-contained system just like the Shinkansen. The Shinkansen's origins lie in plans during...

They are also designed for level boarding from 1250 mm platforms.

The SA/SD sets were withdrawn in 2015 (twelve years after they were introduced) because the Auckland suburban network has been electrified. Perhaps they were intended simply to fill the gap before electrification and avoid the problem of new-ish stock becoming surplus to requirements.

There is a Wikipedia article about Mark 2 carriages in New Zealand.

The BBC says that at least 74 passengers have died.

You're not the only person to think so.

There is already a thread.

One of the criticisms of the redevelopment plan is that passengers will be funnelled up, through the shopping mall and down again before they reach the platforms. It will be like an airport where you can't get to your departure gate without going past all the shops.

Do you mean the Hyundai Rotem EMUs with Hyundai Rotem logos on the front?

GEC and Alsthom had merged by then to form one company called GEC-Alsthom, so the use of that name on the works plates is not evidence of UK involvement. In 1998 GEC-Alsthom was renamed Alstom, without the H. This thread discusses how the development of the Class 373 was shared out amongst UK...

The original UK RVAR from 1998 applied to mainline trains as well as light rail, but were superseded for mainline trains by PRM-TSI in 2006. RVAR 1998 was then replaced for light rail by the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non-Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010 (RVAR 2010). On a general...
