Moving train platforms

It may seem like a direct lift from an action sequence of a film, but the designer puts the future of the train when the platform moves along with the train. Designed by industrial designer Paul Priestman of Priestmangoode speed does not stop at the platforms when it takes time, and not to transfer the passenger trains and local trams, while moving at high speed. The concept of moving the platform from the same designer who designed the Virgin Pendolino concept and Mercury high-speed train.

How this happens is still interesting. The local train or tram dock next to the long-distance trains and trains are still in circulation, allowing passengers to move from one train to another. Trains connect physically with each other through the coupling system. When the transfer is made, and the trains will have their own way. The local train or tram will provide a platform to pick up passengers left the train at a local long-distance and letting the other train moving at the same speed at the destination.


This will certainly be helpful in managing their time and energy more efficiently on long distance trips. Distance high-speed international trains and long wasted much time and energy in transit between stations. Stop at a station the train slows down at high speed and find the results of speed in both time and energy. Therefore, the mobile platform is a very useful concept for long-distance trains at high speed. It works the same theory that the computer network. This network will connect the 2 trains.

The designer defines a "the train travel of 21st century," the concept seems attractive, since most have already been two railways, one of the longest train trip for a single state / territory (or even the nation) to a other and parallel to the local train or tram. So the idea of ​​merging the two lines do not seem impossible. One thing is certain, if the concept of movement of the platform realizes that surely will change the front of the train ever. And 'certainly' idea can not wait because it will change your life and save travel time as well.
