Long DLR Train

"Recliner" wrote in message ... "MIG" wrote in message This morning I've seen a three-unit train running on the DLR, with the designation "Special", in between other services. (Am I the only one having trouble perceiving the "articulated vehicles" as anything other than units of two coaches?) Like any other articulated vehicles (particularly trams), the short coaches share a bogey. The only mainline trains with this configuration in the UK are Eurostars, but they're quite common elsewhere. The diagrams and photos I have seen seem to me to show 2 car bodies and 4 bogies per unit. Was I looking at the wrong images? DW downunder If you mean diagrams like this one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._New_Train.PNG then it would indeed appear to be wrong. Maybe the wheels were added as an afterthought? |
