Hi all,
Was just wondering if anyone can explain exactly how line of site work on metrolink. It seems easy enough in the city when the trams are only moving say 15mph as when they see a tram infront they can come to a complete stop. But what about on lines where it is faster such as the line of site section between old Trafford and Brooklands, trams rattle down that section at 50mph. Say if there was a tram stopes at sale and another tram heading between Dane road and sale would the driver be able to see the tram in front and make a safe stop?
Cheers Luke
