Double-deck cars could appear in Russia in two years

It is assumed that these cars can be delivered in trains to the Black Sea resorts, as well as on the line from Moscow to Volga cities - particularly in Nizhny Novgorod, Samara and Saratov. "These cars are needed, where we do not have enough bandwidth lines for the transportation of all passengers," - explained the choice for vice president, Mikhail Akulov Railways. Recall that the car has developed TVZ 16 four-seat coupe - 8 on the lower level and 8 at the top. Thus, it is almost twice the usual roomy compartment car - 64 seats to 36. Coupe little different from normal - except for a much lower ceiling, so that on the top shelf will be slightly less spacious than the cars are now plying. In addition, for the same reason there is no upper cargo compartment of a corridor. in compartment version of the car to reduce its weight rather big designers abandoned the shelves, Transformers and did the usual. For the same reason, and a set of minimal Shelves and grids to accommodate passenger belongings. But the CD-version of the car will Shelf-transformer. The car weighs 65 tons - about 10% more than usual. Its length (26.2 meters) and more, but only by 70 centimeters . The height of a giant - 5,25 meters. corridors of the upper and lower floors are made with different side of the car, so walking on them passengers can enjoy the scenery on both sides. However, in a prototype car to make it in the corridor of the upper floor is difficult - the window ends approximately five feet from the floor, and to look at it, most passengers will have to bend down. A similar problem arises and passengers top shelves - the window will end below the shelves. This omission is supposed to fix in the following samples of the car. dvuhetazhnika first sample, in contrast to all other Russian passenger cars, has only one door, located at standard height. To pass to the coupe will have to descend or climb a few steps. At the opposite end of the car, and on the "middle" level, there is a system of three dressing rooms - so their location will allow reduce queues to a minimum.
