Hezzy posted:I can't help but think that some sort of leaflet or piece of information needs to be prominently displayed that says "Move down the carriage when you board a busy service". Saw a TPE train yesterday that was completely ram packed full in carriage B but carriages A and C were pretty much empty. Seems silly for everyone to be crowding round in the same carriage... I think you'll find that the doors of that carriage are closest to the exit / next train of the station they get off at. I know it's hilarious on the Waterloo and city line, the front will be jam packed at waterloo to the point you can wait for several trains before getting on but the rear will have seats available.

What advantages to broader gauges actually have? Was Brunel's thing about a smoother ride actually a thing? Also how big a thing are the tilting trains? Is it something that the UK rail network really needed? There seemed to be a lot of fanfare at the time but now you don't hear anything about it.

Wootcannon posted:It's less than 7 foot, I'm 6'2"/3" (haven't bothered measuring in a while) and if my hair's spiked up it brushes against the roof even in the centre of the carriage. He meant the whole tunnel's clearance, so the rails, wheels and carriage chop a fair bit off of that.
