Why is articulation not used more extensively in modern UK railway vehicles? It's almost now a standard design concept for European rail models. I would of thought manufacturers would be positive at the opportunity to reduce the RA of their products by the use of shared bogies.
Some examples of articulated rail vehicles in Europe;
Alstom AGV
Alstom Coradia
Alstom TGV
Bombardier AGC
Bombardier Spacium 3.O6
Stalder FLIRT
Siemens Desiro (not the UK model)
The only models of railway vehicles that I can think of that use articulation in the UK are the Class 373 TGV-TMST and the WIA car carrier wagons.
