世界最速の第三軌条電車 #Class442 と #イギリス 南部の#鉄道 事情【 #迷列車で行こう 海外編】現地突撃取材

Part 2    • #イギリス が誇る…？高速吊り掛け電車 #Class442 【 #迷列車で行こう海外...   A new character () appears in the overseas edition of the Yukkuri Utagekidan's Let's Go on a Mysterious Train series! This time, we'll introduce a somewhat unusual train running in the southwest of England. In Japan, third-rail systems are primarily used on subways. They're generally thought of as a system used on slower routes with a maximum speed of less than 100 km/h. However, in the UK, there are many trains that travel at speeds comparable to the Keikyu and Special Rapid services. The location is southern England, which we previously featured in our hovercraft article. We'll explain why they developed uniquely here, including some history. The Siemens Class 707 trains currently in operation in London are manufactured near Yukkuri's home in Germany. I've seen them in Class A service several times. (I was in a hurry, so the photos I took in the hurry are quite distorted...) I'm planning to share the changing motor sounds that occur when the power supply method is changed on my subchannel. *I post behind-the-scenes shots and detailed images of the trains featured in the video on Instagram. *   / yukuri403   0:00 This time, we'll introduce some unusual trains from the UK. 0:44 London Waterloo Station, the southern terminal 1:55 The Class 442 train's eye-catching, bizarre exterior 2:55 The body structure is based on a certain passenger car () 5:12 The unique, unforgettable front of the train.
