  • Since Caf Urbos 3 cracks discovered, on L1 Dulwich Hill line Alstom Citadis X05 began service on that line, replacing cracked trams. This video shows you a rare sight when Alstom Citadis X05 going 72 km/h! They used to never run that fast like that before… Only singe section, where trams sometimes can run up to 70 km/h is Taverners Hill-Marion (Central direction only). But usually trams running there around 60 km/h. I asked 2 drivers to give a full power acceleration and they did pretty well!

    One of the only times i've ever heard a Citadis at speed. Love it. Usually slower systems opt for Alstom trams, so you never heard or feel them going at their top speeds. They are very capable trams and I hope more cities see that potential.

    It's incredible shooting off along the 2013 extension. My favourite part has to be the tunnel at Leichhardt North.

    That’s pretty fast for a tram, also you just reached 200 subs milestone! I think those scrapyard videos have made your subscribers skyrocket.

  • @tonyhworks
    @tonyhworks Před 2 lety +5

    All modern trams are typically capable of 80 km/h or more but the maximum speed on any system is limited by the operational rules applying to that system, so the trams usually have a governor that limits the speed to the maximum system speed. 70 km/h is a common internationally accepted maximum speed for a tram running on line-of-sight. More important for journey time is average speed, which is influenced more by acceleration from and deceleration into stops and cornering ability, all of these not being strong points for the Citadis which is limited by its fixed bogies and adhesion being only about 66%.

    • @user-we3no5pw9n
      @user-we3no5pw9n Před 2 lety

      And the density of the stops and the radius of the curves. It depends on the line as well not only on the vehicles. Im agreeing and adding this. The citadis have a habit of not stopping as quickly as our older trams but our ansaldo breda sirio trams are far worse in cornering ability. They both have rigid bogies but the citadis is 2 meters shorter and maybe weights less but for that im no sure.

      @artemstransportvlogs121  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, Variotrams used to run full power down there. Currently Alstom Citadis X05 trams running there 60. Caf Urbos 3 usually 60, sometimes 70.
