Again, the issue is not really about common components than it is about accelerating/braking characteristics and how those are controlled electronically. There is also the issue of passenger information system compatibility such as automated announcements and electronic displays but those don't directly affect the performance or safety of the trains.The point randyo and myself are trying to make is that they could have ordered the cars to be mixable but they didn't do it. Modifying the cars to be compatible is possible, as it was painfully done on the PA1-3 of PATH, but it would be much easier to do if done during the design process of the cars. It probably is one of the "minor" matters where the TA shouldn't have made decisions based on costs. |
