Bicycles to be allowed on trains, Singapore buses as part of 6-month trial
2008-05-22 01:17:00 Bicycles to be allowed on trains, Singapore buses as part of 6-month trial By Hiroshi Limmell, SINGAPORE : Cyclists will be allowed to bring foldable bicycles on board all trains and public buses, in a six-month trial. This is an initiative by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a study to meet the transport needs of diverse groups of people. The trial period is from May 24 to November 24 this year. Foldable bicycles will be allowed on MRT trains every weekday during off-peak hours and on SBS and SMRT buses on weekends and public holidays. The trial is one of several initiatives announced during the Land Transport Review. The Review recognises an increasing trend of people cycling for sports, recreation or as a means of transport. Although the move gives cyclists more convenience, LTA spokesman Jeremy Yap said public safety must still come first. He said, “Cyclists and other commuters are encouraged to be considerate and make way for one another, so that more people can use ...

Burning Trains
2008-05-03 16:31:00 My train journey home last night took two and a half hours for what is normally a forty minute high-speed dash up the country. It all started well, but the train came to a halt at Wembley Central and some of the lights went out. About ten minutes later the Train Manager announced that there was a burning freight train just ahead of us and, as the fire brigade were busy spraying water around, the power to overhead lines in the immediate area on both sets of north/south lines had been cut. A while later and the train's backup power supply depleted and the remaining lights went out. All passengers were forced to vacate and wait on the platform for a while, before squeezing into an already overcrowded London Overground train to Watford where another fast train was waiting.Stopping the trains sounds very sensible - everyone knows that water and electricity don't mix very well (or do, that being the problem). But ... hang on ... what happens when it rains?

Passenger Trains Collide in Eastern China
2008-04-28 04:45:00 April 28, NY TimesBEIJING — A predawn collision between two passenger trains in Eastern China on Monday has killed at least 66 people and injured 247, according to Xinhua, the state news agency, making it one of the deadliest rail accidents in recent years.The two trains, one heading from Beijing to Qingdao and the other traveling between Yantai and Xuzhou, collided at 4:40 a.m. in the town of Zibo, Shandong Province.Witnesses said one train derailed at a bend and then struck the other, throwing at least ten cars into a ditch. Wire reports quoted a rail official saying that a new timetable introduced on Monday might have contributed to the crash.Last September, a collision involving two trains took place on the same line, although there were no deaths. In January, 18 track workers were killed on the Beijing-Qingdao route after they were struck by a train traveling 75 m.p.h. in the dark.Chinese newspapers frequently report railway fatalities, although most of them involve small num...
Mumbai gets smartcards for local trains and BEST buses
2008-04-25 16:40:00 During my train travels from New Jersey to New York via Subway, I used to always think of how it would be to have a similar ticketing system for journey in crowded Mumbai local trains. The first thing that came to my mind - it was just not possible given the logistics and tracking involved. For those who are not aware, in US and UK (specifically for Subway trains and Tubes), the traveler has to just go to nearest vending machine before entering the platform, get a pass of standard denominations and swipe it before entering the train platform. Every time one swipes the card, certain amount is deducted toward your journey. No waiting in lines ! Now, to my surprise, even Mumbai seems to be moving towards similar system. The Central Railways (CR) launched "Go Mumbai" smart card - a first-of-a-kind travel card which works like a pre-paid telephone card, and can be used for travel on the local Mumbai trains and BEST buses.

Mumbai trains kill 20,000 in 5 years
2008-04-22 06:12:00 More than 20,000 people have been killed on Mumbai's notoriously overcrowded train system over the past five years ? many of them crushed, run over or electrocuted ? according to official data. Mumbai's trains are the lifeline of India's financial capital, carrying some 7 million commuters every day, but an average of 10 people don't survive the trip each day. India's Central and Western Railway was forced this week to release the harrowing data, showing at least 20,706 people have died over the past five years, after a Mumbai activist, Chetan Kothari, filed a request under the country's Right to Information Act.

Consumers take trains to France
2008-04-09 02:00:00 France's rental market could be boosted by the growing popularity of travelling by rail. According to Virgin Trains, many people are choosing to use the railways to travel to short-haul destinations such as France. The organisation said the rail networks and Channel Tunnel services are being "well-used" and are increasingly being seen as a good alternative to flying to France. This could be good news for owners of rental property in France, as visiting holidaymakers will require temporary lodgings. Philippa Richardson, communications manager for Virgin Trains, commented: "More and more people are choosing [the railway] as a means to get to destinations they might have previously gone to by car or plane." She added that trains are a far more environmentally-friendly mode of transport than aircraft. The comments come soon after Eurostar launched a high-speed service between Paris and London, which offers reduced journey times of just two hours and 15 mi...

The trains that drive themselves
2008-03-12 04:06:00 In 1910, the world's first fully operational driverless railway opened below the streets of Munich. Although the train carried no passenger, only mail for the Post Office, it was hailed as having revolutionary implications for the future of rail travel in general.Decades later, despite the use of modern technology - closed-circuit televisions to monitor the movement of passengers on both the train and the platform, and microprocessors that can perform all the tasks of a human crew on a conventional train - just 20 passenger-carrying railways around the world use automatic trains and only a few of these are completely unmanned. An attendant is usually on board to control doors, start the train and cope in an emergency.Why is it that such a labour-saving and therefore economical system has had such little success? Research shows that passengers are reluctant to travel on trains without drivers because they fear they are not safe. But, since the first fully automatic unmanned system w...
