If a DLR train ever got up to that speed it probably had to go and have a lie down for a week. Say a far more realistic 20-25 mph which seems to be the top speed these days almost everywhere. Train doing 10m/s, stops at 1.2m/s. Even with a 1-2 second reaction time you're sorted. DLR Bank - Lewisham, 11.06km, timetabled 26 min. Thats 7.1m/s average including 14 intermediate stops, so the top speed must be much more than 10m/s. Well, timetables and reality are 2 different things, but it must be flying on the parts I don't use because on the bank - canary wharf section I reckon it does 30mph absolute max. 30mph = 13.4 m/s Yes, and? It certainly doesn't do it entering stations. 20mph maybe. Besides, I've been on a DLR train that did an emergency stop - presumably when it lost its control signal - and took no time at all. -- Spud |
