Pendolino Static Tilting

Pretty aggressive test tbf, never realised they tilted it that fast

[@domin727]

In normal operation its not tilting any slower and its doing it a lot more often.

[@RYNOCIRATOR_V5]

If the tilt wasn't fast it wouldn't be of any use in practice. The whole point of the system is to allow trains to go round corners faster; a train that hasn't reacted to a curve and tilted quickly is a train that has potentially already derailed and crashed.

[@hexagon7895]

​@RYNOCIRATOR_V5 it is 100% safe to run at tilt speeds without tilt enabled, otherwise any tilt failure mid-curve would be extremely dangerous and while rare they do happen. Tilt is purely about passenger comfort in cornering at higher speeds, not safety.

[@RYNOCIRATOR_V5]

@@hexagon7895 bruh that crazy, guess I'm a fool lol How's the passenger comfort work though? don't they lean _in to_ the corners? Also I read that they have higher likelihood of causing motion sickness...

[@domin727]

@@RYNOCIRATOR_V5 "Comfort" basically means the tilting mechanism reduces the maximum horizontal acceleration on the body by reassigning some of it on to the vertical side thus limiting it to a maximum of 1 m/s² which is deemed the highest acceptable level so that passengers dont fall or feel centrifugal forces. It is however only the superstructure on the train which tilts. The bougies stay in place and therefore there is no improvement in the maximum safe cornerspeed but that is also not needed because its not the main limiting factor, the forces on the passengers are.

pendolino better than gwr, lner and hull trains (i forgot what tpe looks like inside), avanti 80x better than pendolino

@@mudchute4dlri found 390s to be smooth and quiet compared to 80x

[@nitelast]

​@mudchute4dlr makes sense, the avanti ones are newer than the gwr ones so they knew what they were doing with them by then

[@mudchute4dlr]

@@nitelast yeah its always good to order trains already in use with other operators as you already have feedback and can therefore imrpove, especially useful for operators with similar routes (eg. if grand central was to get 80x, they could take feedback from lner or hull trains)

[@malcolmgeorge1180]

Instead of ordering Hitachi trains, should have be more of those, even modern ones

Precisely!

When we going trip to to the holiday, I was first time parts, go there inside the train guess it looked like smart of flight of train!... Well, because... The train-going flyer is like this, you see that... The train test balance is up and down. We're living in Manchester, we're going trip to Aberdeen in 2015 by August. When the train goes to fast to flyer to Aberdeen... You know, you see that... See 0:05se. Of course, part of the old Intercity flyer is a flight train from Kings Cross to Aberdeen since around 1989... Ist guess very long story about the memory of my favourite Intercity flyer train.

@@am74343 It does it in a sort of Mexican wave formation. Every carriage moves starting from the front, down to the back. This simulates winding curves on the network, as often, the entire train won’t tilt at the same time.

[@jonoharris333]

It's mental technology, but in the UK our loading gauge is already too small making our trains crampt. Tilting trains are even more crampt becuase their sides taper in more so I really hope we don't have more tilting trains in future. It's only comfortable in first class on these!

Quite a lot of trains tilt around corners not as much as the 390s but they still do
