Berlin problem |
|
|
Posted by Joe on Fri Oct 31 16:07:39 2025 I don't know whether the Berliner Zeitung invented this problem in reporting about these new Alstom Urbanliner trams. They can seat 92 passengers and carry 312. The article claims they are too schwer (bulky? heavy?) for the intended route. On my first reading, the newspaper let me read the full article. When I returned, it wanted a subscription.Zeitung |

Posted by Italianstallion on Fri Oct 31 16:52:27 2025, in response to Berlin problem, posted by Joe on Fri Oct 31 16:07:39 2025. This is a translation of the first paragraph, which is all it allowed me to read:It was a nasty surprise. And some people thought: typical Berlin! The new Urbanliner, an XXL tram with space for 312 passengers, is intended to expand capacity on heavily used tram lines. But even after almost a year and a half, it is still not approved. During the proceedings, the suspicion arose that the train was too heavy for Berlin. Now, according to information from the Berliner Zeitung, a proposal is on the table, how the vehicle could be used despite its large weight - and how the city could be spared embarrassment. And this is headline: New BVG tram too heavy for bridges: This is how the XXL tram should now get rolling Is Berlin too weak for the Urbanliner? Now experts have an idea of how the railway could pass problem points. It is needed because this means of transport is booming. |
