Pacers to be replaced by old London Underground trains?

In article -september. , (Recliner) wrote: 150 DMs is all but 20 of the entire stock as built. It seems the original idea of 3 car units has given way to one of 3 car units. Am I missing something here?? Sorry. Finger trouble. The original idea was 4 car units. Perhaps they'd be underpowered? They need to make up for their lower top speed compared to Pacers with a higher acceleration. The initial reports of 4-car units were probably more speculation than fact. After all, in LU service they run as pairs of three-car units, with only one trailer per pair of power cars, and the plan seems to be for the same in their new lives as DEMUs. To run as four-car units would probably require the 4th car to be an UNDM. |
