Accessible toilet in light rail vehicles

[slipdigby]

Posting here rather than in light rail as I suspect this definitely fits in with international, rather than UK experience!

Has anyone any experience of any operators anywhere attempting to fit an accessible toilet within the confines of a tram-train vehicle? I've had a scout about, and note that whilst the Chemnitz Citylink vehicles do have a toilet fitted, it is in the centre car and definitely not useable with a wheelchair!

I suspect I already know the answer to this, but TIA!

The Alstom Citadis Dualis vehicles built for the Nantes Tram-Train system have one: https://www.vagonweb.cz/fotogalerie/F/SNCF_U-53500.php?lang=en. It's also mentioned in the manufacturer brochure.

I think that's the only one though.

The tram-train vehicles in Karlstukje have toilets, but no idea of these are accessible toilets.

So they do! Thank you!!!

Much appreciated,

The existing ones aren't, but the new VDV Stadler Tram-Train fleet recently ordered will have an accessible one. Very hard to fit in a tram, basically one third of the tram between the doors will only be the toilet and a very narrow path next to it.

Cheers! Will keep an eye out for these breaking cover in the next year or so.

Many thanks again,
