Heathrow third runway to get the go ahead
In message , at 18:02:32 on
Thu, 15 Jan 2009, Recliner remarked: The Class 395 trains are six cars long, but I don't know if they'll be running doubled up for some services. If so, I assume the Kent platforms can handle 12 trains. I think that needs verifying, as I don't think there's much room left at the end of the similar EMT platforms when there's 4+5 car Meridian parked there. -- Roland Perry |

The 395's carriages are shorter: (6+6)* 20m = 240m (5+4)* 23m = 207 m We also know a 5+5 Meridian fits, which is 230m. The Kent platforms do extend a bit further north than the MML ones, though they start a little further north also. I think both sets have a usable length of at least 250m, possibly 260m, although I don't have a detailed enough diagram handy to say for sure. U |
