I do like my speed but I don't see the point as it'll just increase track and component wear. You could see small increases in speed if their axle loading is low enough and the track alignment allows it.
They will be limited to the legacy signalling, maximum 45mph
Given that current trains are actually being slowed on some lines due to complaints about noise l wouldn't exactly hold your breath about new trains going faster even with new signalling.
Oops! 1/10 in my accuracy test.
The linked .pdf gives me a blank screen.
That has been the artist's impression since the revised interior a few years back, which in my opinion looks more brutalist.
Yes, those armrests do look a bit thin
Works fine for me!
That’s been the case for a few years now
Yes thanks, I've checked and it works on a desktop, but something about it isn't liked by my phone.
This doesn't look anything new compared to the last set of images released, or the physical mockup that Siemens built.
The 72s won't be going for a while though
Given the low-res nature of it, I'd say that's a compute generated image than an actual photo of any constructed unit.
Heading to Wildenrath test track, due to arrive at Ruislip depot 4 July 2024.
Yeh noticed that. Seems to be some cantilever designindeed, so small and lightweight they’re levitating
Ah awesome so we will see them in the Uk next year which isnt half bad.
Design is basically 5 single cars with 2 bogies (as normal), and 4 shorter bridging sections.
