If you're looking for a solution for the short platform/long train problem, an example is there by Southwestern Trains (formerly SouthWest Trains) in the UK. Their units are equipped with transponders that work with transponders on the tracks. They can tell whether or not a passenger door is right up against a platform and stay closed for short platforms.SWT runs comparable length trains as LIRR (up to 12 cars) and they only need ONE guard/conductor per train to handle this. Yes they have to announce that an upcoming stop is at a short platform and have people move forward as necessary to gain access to working passenger doors. Of course their system is a barrier system at stations so a ticket or pass has be swiped before allowing access to a platform. |
