Posted by WillD on Sun Sep 26 17:34:01 2010, in response to Re: PHOTOS: SEPTA Rail Rodeo-2, posted by arnine on Sun Sep 26 13:08:00 2010. An addendum:My apologies, now that I look at the photos I can see that a row of seats is not lost. But one seat is sacrificed and the entire row is made virtually useless because it is now facing the row behind it. But that seat is lost for every cab, regardless of whether it is occupied or not, and those two reverse seats are just as useless whether the cab door is opened or closed. This means that with the Silverliner V originally seating 108 as originally designed, the pairs will usefully seat 105, and the single cars will be reduced to 102. With the cab door closed that drops to 103 in a married pair, and 98 for a single car (with both cabs occupied). A three car train consisting of a married pair and a single car will seat 308 passengers, 16 fewer than a three car Silverliner V with all half-cabs. |
