why are the new Victoria and trains so slow?
In message , at 23:21:06 on Mon, 8 Aug
2011, D A Stocks remarked: I understand one of the prerequisites for the introduction of regenerative braking on the Central Line was a requirement to replace older motors in escalators at stations. They share their supply with the traction and needed to be able to handle the greater variations in supply voltage. That's quite interesting. I've been at a couple of National Rail stations (one SWT, one FCC) where the power had failed to the station itself, but remained in place for the trains. Neither had escalators. -- Roland Perry |
