Posted by Sand Box John on Sun Oct 7 14:44:47 2012, in response to Re: WMATA's Kawasaki Rail 7000-rail car series full scale model, posted by Dupont Circle Station on Sun Oct 7 13:53:18 2012. As I have said before, I am very disappointed that they did not go with a 4-door-per-side design based on the R-46. The 3-door arrangement will remain a bottleneck.That idea was rejected because of the loss of seating capacity. The solution in not more doors, the solution is more cars. I have said it multiple times here and in other forums, WMATA has had a rolling stock shortage sense the opening of the Huntington station on 12 17 1983. WMATA doesn't have rolling stock in sufficient numbers to exploit the full capacity of the signaling system. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
