DLR track gauge
As I was sitting on the DLR the other day with the train squeeling its
way round yet another sharp curve, it suddenly struck me - why did they use standard gauge track? Surely a narrow gauge would be far better suited to the tight curves on the line? Its not as if they'd have had any trouble procuring equipment for narrow gauge since plenty of light rail narrow gauge systems operate in europe. And the DLR is completely self contained with no physical links to any other railway so thats not a concern. Anyone know why they didn't use say metre gauge? B2003 |
