Just wondering why don't we have same situation what tgey got in usa, with long and heavy fright trains by putting another power unit in the middle so it can help it along and even more when going up steep hills
@WalesRail6 күн бұрын
UK is a much smaller country. Towns are much closer, therefore track circuits are near to each other. The UK is set up for passenger use not freight. Their would be no room for very long freights within the passenger schedule. We do get the odd coupled train with a power unit in the center however this is to reduce the need for 2 short trains to take up 2 paths.
