Stadler Publish More Details On Greater Anglia’s Flirts
These pictures are on several web sites and show more details on how Stadler is creating Greater Anglia’s Class 745 trains.
If you compare the first and third pictures, it would appear that the cab is a separate construction, probably made out of a variety of materials like steel, aluminium and glass reinforced plastic.
The body could be similar to that of a Bombardier Electrostar or Aventra and made of three aluminium sections welded together.
The cross-section seems simpler than that of an Aventra, which as this picture shows is double-skinned with ribs.
Are the sides and roof of Stadler Flirts extruded or fabricated?
But then Bombardier designed the Aventra bodies to be made in large numbers, close to the production line, whereas Stadler build the bodies in Hungary.
