Title: A two carriage train running back and forth - Swedish differences Post by: grahame on April 11, 2024, 08:59:45 Some ideas from Sweden, from the line that runs from Hapatanda to Lulea with 4 internediate stops and a single 2 carriage train shuttling up and down. Some ideas would work for our little line from Swindon to Westbury ... just saying. Others would not!
Wheelchair loading facilities (http://www.wellho.net/pix/swlea_01.jpg) Tea, coffee, snacks available (http://www.wellho.net/pix/swlea_02.jpg) Trains that continue operating even in the snow (and today ours needed repairing so they - wait for this - swapped it for another one to avoid cancelling). Also rubbish bags at each seat to make cleaning easier (http://www.wellho.net/pix/swlea_04.jpg) You walk across the tracks to get to the other platform - a simple barrier is put down when there's a train going to cross (http://www.wellho.net/pix/swlea_05.jpg) Separate sections of the train where dogs are and are not allowed (http://www.wellho.net/pix/toit6.jpg) Retractable steps that come down from the train so that people can get on and off easily even at lower (and cheaper to build?) platforms (http://www.wellho.net/pix/toit7.jpg) Powered by electricity that comes from overhead wires (http://www.wellho.net/pix/toit8.jpg) Stations that are beautiful - however old or new - and want you to look forward to using them (http://www.wellho.net/pix/toit9.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/toita.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/toitb.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/toitc.jpg) This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
