l-deal


CAF seems to be the operators new best friend these days. Walk through makes
sense given the individual articulated cars were already walk through anyway.


Yes, of course they were, like nearly all modern light rail vehicles.
But the new trains will be one set of five-section articulated
vehicles, walk-through from end to end, not three separate two-section
vehicles.
