New Merseyrail Fleet A Platform For Future Innovations
The title of this post, is the title of this article on the Rail Technology Magazine web site.
The article mainly consists an interview with David Powell, who is programme director of rolling stock at Merseytravel.
It is very much an article worth reading, as it describes the process of choosing trains and how Merseyrail and Stadler will develop the trains during their relationship.
This is a direct quote from the article.
We will be exploring, with Stadler, what the options are for having the trains becoming self-powered. This isn’t the bi-modes that lots of other people are talking about in the industry; this is on-board electrical storage.
I am a great believer in on-board energy storage and I believe its deployment in the UK, is closer than most people think.
