Sydney CSELR Size of LRVs and platforms

摘要

As described in the CSELR Project EIS (Volume 1A) (Transport for NSW, 2013), the proposed vehicle specifications for the approved project included light rail vehicles (LRVs) of approximately 45 m in length with a capacity of approximately 300. The LRVs consisted of a low floor design with adequate grab rails and handles positioned for standing passengers. Signage within the LRVs identified wheelchair areas, priority seating areas and emergency procedures. To accommodate the proposed service frequency for the CSELR Project at the commencement of operations, approximately 26 LRVs were proposed to operate along the CSELR Project route. Four spare LRVs were available for use if required and to rotate into service during maintenance of the other LRVs. Each of the LRVs contained technology to allow them to operate without overhead wires in certain locations, such as the wire-free zone between Hunter Street and Bathurst Street.
