Surely even if one unit is declared dead the other would be able to push/pull? I had the pleasure of a NoL-Eurostar failing last week. Failing so completely that none of the motor cars was operative anymore - and in consequence not even loudspeakers anymore. 2 km outside Valenciennes station. Hmm, do these use the same electrical arrangement as the Three Capitals sets, which we were assured were designed to be proof against a complete traction failure (unless in exceptionally severe winter weather, of course) ? AFAIK, yes (or did SNCF make changes that eliminated that capability?) - and I had the same thought. Cheers, Johannes. |
