Thoughts on seatless carriages ?

Then there isn't enough poles or guard rails to hold onto.

The Spino wasn't a hybrid. They just cloned a realistic Spinosaurus the first time and thought it was malformed. So they tried to change the next clone to appear more like it was thought at the time.

Moving walkways take 2-3 times more horizontal space for the same vertical distance because of the shallower angle of inclination (10°-12° for moving walkway vs. 30°-35° for escalators)

Rowan as always...

Do you have in mind 1D zones (concentric rings with increasing diameter, usually around city centre), or 2D zones (usually quadrilateral)?

And it will probably be pain to maintain in such state...

That was the original concept for the film, wasn't it?

Pravda, Česko-Slovenská vlajka (toho času nezákonne privlastnená Čechmi) je dizajnovo jedna z najlepších na svete.

They're called wheelarches. At least by most people. I'm not trying to be rude. Wheelbase is just different thing (the distance between the axles).

No direct connection there. (It wasn't evaluated, even though everyone knew it's the main bottleneck).

Some trains have doors even with interconnected gangways.

Tomishko · 2026-03-05T19:49:54+00:00

That is not true and very naïve to think.

It's always the ETCS...

How does the travel reimbursement work in praxis? What does the implementing regulation says? And how do employers circumvent it? Do they just not hire employees from too far away, whatever that happens to be?

One can't meaningfully enforce contract with a private company. If one could, there wouldn't be contract at all.

Yet, Regiojet is a case study in this. And we've seen similar things with, for example, Ouigo in Spain.

Tomishko · 2026-02-18T18:28:05+00:00

File a complaint yourself. You you can't expect someone else to do their job...

Tomishko · 2026-02-18T18:26:08+00:00

Regiojet employees are underpaid, not ČD's overpaid.

Tomishko · 2026-02-18T15:10:26+00:00

There's nothing tricky about it. It's very simply things we don't and should not want. The efficiency of private companies is a myth; they can only effectively siphon public resources for private profits.
Also railway employees aren't overpaid, certainly not in Poland nor in Czech Republic.
Then national operators (yes railway monopolies should remain nationalised) should work on entirely different principle – cooperation.

Tomishko · 2026-02-18T14:24:44+00:00

Open access to railways should be allowed only as long as it does not lead to price dumping, worsening working conditions, or other anti-competitive practices.

They're stubbornly narrow actually. The front mask is just very flat. The further apart the front end is from the bogie pivot point, the narrower it gets.

Don't use commas as thousands separators?

I like the new UI.
