Sure, but I think they use other tunnels, on the Atlantique route at least....Ameecher wrote:Probably not because they don't suffer the sudden temperature changes experience when exiting the Chunnel.Kevo00 wrote:Would love to know if the TGVs that the Eurostars are related to have been having any similar problems...
Re: Your Last Train Journey?
But none as long as 30 miles - that's longer than most of the tube tunnels, which we all know how hot they get.

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
The other bad thing about the tube in winter is that they insist on opening all the doors at all the stations on the above ground sections, even though the newer trains are all fitted with passenger operated door opening buttons! And it has very little, if any, on train heating!JamieLei wrote:But none as long as 30 miles - that's longer than most of the tube tunnels, which we all know how hot they get.
Lucky for Jolteon I am on holiday in snowed up County Durham or else I would be filling this thread up with my 2-3 times daily train journeys rather than spam. I so miss the tube (naaaaaaaat).
Re: Your Last Train Journey?
Well that's the thing - the District line D-stock had door-operating buttons but they were covered up during the refurbishment works. A stationary train at Upminster or Wimblepong waiting 15 mins in the snow for the correct time of departure, or even the mandatory 5 minute louge-about at Earl's Court is going to severely freeze out the trains.Kevo00 wrote: The other bad thing about the tube in winter is that they insist on opening all the doors at all the stations on the above ground sections, even though the newer trains are all fitted with passenger operated door opening buttons!

There's no door controls on the 2009 Victoria Line stock but I suppose that's for obvious reasons. On the other hand, the Class 378 Overground stock uses them for every station. I wonder if the Victoria Line has any heating whatsoever!

Indeed, it is admittedly likely to be so. I do wish Northern could afford nicer things, as much as I love 14*s, I do think they're in need of retirement.Dave Worley wrote:142 then.Jolteon wrote:I am unamused at the off topic.

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
The 144s are just about passable on that route (it being for some reason mostly long welded rail, plus they have vaguely comfortable/spacious seating) and on Leeds-Hudds/Caldervale stoppers, but they really ought to be the benchmark of rolling stock, i.e. nothing worse than this, please!Jolteon wrote:Indeed, it is admittedly likely to be so.

Re: Your Last Train Journey?
Isn't the entire 14* range made of old bus parts, or is it just the 142s?
(also damn, freaking offtopic, why is it so hard?)
(also damn, freaking offtopic, why is it so hard?)
Re: Your Last Train Journey?
Indeed yes. The 14x class was designed to be a cheap alternative to loco-hauled trains by putting a bus on wheels. Just like the 15x was Sprinters by producing lowish-cost diesel units to replace locos.Jolteon wrote:Isn't the entire 14* range made of old bus parts, or is it just the 142s?

And without the off-topic, this topic would be boring.
