That’s not how it works otherwise all non-UK-built cars would be in kph, no ?? :lol: + other tram systems in the UK use kph

Yup

They’ve named a train line after a (minor) football team for god’s sake…

11 pages of discussion (and counting) all for nothing if we had just gone with lines A to F and 1 to 11 for the Underground ! :E

Well that was quick

Really, do you think people in Paris don’t know where lines 4 and 13 go ? Once you learn it, you know… and numbers are easier to learn and remember…

Yup, ´tis the London Wokeverground

To be honest I think it’s good to make the network a bit clearer. But dang how much simpler, cheaper and better would it have been to just give the line numbers…

Not on trams inside which the bogies protrude in the passenger compartment (which is all of the low-floor ones).

Most metro systems around the world have only longitudinal seating now.

It would’ve been a nice standardised design

50 years old isn’t unheard of in train lifespan.

same issue but the other way around. Siemens won’t find it profitable to open or convert a whole production line to build trams for a market which virtually doesn’t exist.

Prototypes will be done yes, but not serial units until the initial batch has been approved and any changes implemented in the design.

Serial production hasn’t started yet.

Something like that yeah

Trams are quite a bit cheaper than metros in any case. Approx 2-4 million a piece.
