They could have put 5 doors per 75' car to solve the ingress/egress issue. 4 cars with 5 doors = 5 cars with 4 doors.The added benefit is the 4 extra seats (and associated standing space) per half train due to one less bulkhead wasting space. Current setup (one side of car): [cab-6-6-6-2|2-6-6-6-2|2-6-6-6-2|2-6-6-6-2|2-6-6-6-cab] 212 seats per 5 car 60' set. 75' variant: [cab-6-6-6-6-2|2-6-6-6-6-2|2-6-6-6-6-2|2-6-6-6-6-cab] 216 seats per 4 car 75' set. This makes for 8 extra seats per train. Discarded over some weird flexibility fetish which will never be used for the lifetime of the cars. |
