[article] RPA defends capacity of proposed metro trams

Mark · 03-04-2008, 15:30

2.8m width would be ideal but 2.65m/2.7m would also be achieveable given the RPA originally perceived that as their metro tram width. When you look at it, 250mm is not a huge distance and so the question is have the curve radii have been designed to 2.4 or have they allowed scope for wider body trams.

I wonder would 2.4m width units impact on comfort, especially taking into account airport patrons.
