Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Wed Jan 3 21:47:26 2018, in response to Re: Bombardier BART cars, posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Wed Jan 3 14:58:29 2018. I support 2 man crews for RR trains, engineer and conductor (with the conductor having nothing to do with fare collection).SEPTA is trying with Key (validators and turnstiles). A half measure compared to fully gating the system, but it's certainly a start. Melbourne Metro is a good example of a traditional-style commuter RR that was turned into a gated system. There are grade level stations right next to railroad crossings - they simply didn't bother going through much effort to wall them off. You can walk 2 feet down the track and hop onto the platform, bypassing the turnstiles, and the crossing gates make for good warning devices in case the train is coming making it rather safe to do so. Despite this, the trains still run Victoria. Example: Batman station. Yes, I got off there primarily because of the name (who could resist?), then walked a few blocks and grabbed the tram on Sydney road. |
