If their NTT trains had better acceleration and service braking rates to 4.0 mph/sec and the emergency braking rate to 7.0 mph/sec, line capacity would be raised to around 47 tph. It would take a new signal system to realize these capacity gains. CBTC might be a realistic and possibly cost effective option in that case.------------ I am usually under the impression that the NEWER subway cars are BETTER in many ways than the older subway cars. I am hoping that BETTER means better acceleration, better braking, better speed, better rider comfort and amenities, etc. Now whether any of that translates into having a suggested 47 trains per hour is a whole other question. It is really "wrong" to think that the newer subway cars are "better" than the older or oldest subway cars? Just wondering. Mike |
