Floor height versus Entrance height[edit]

Here ist the problem: The Infobox Train lists "Floor height: 3.2 feet (980 mm)". The Refrence 1. lists "Entrance height: 34 in (864 mm)". The Siemens Data Sheet does not provide any (other) information on floor hight, so it might be the same? Background: I'm no native speaker an I'm not so familliar to the technical terminology of tramcars. Of course there can be a difference between "floor height" (in terms of "level of the floor within in the tramcar") and "entrence height" (in terms of "level of the lowest step of a staircase", considering high-floor vehicles at low platforms). But here, I assume, we deal with a high-floor LRV for corresponding high-floor platforms. In this case, I would think, both terms are the same? But I might be wrong. Who can help? -- Großkatze (talk) 22:06, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I checked again the sources. The S200 floor/entrance height seems to vary from town to town:

San Fransisco: Entrance height 34 in 864 mm (S200 SF Light Rail Vehicle San Fransisco, California) – this seems linked to the 870 mm of the German U2/U3 successors U4 (Siemens) and U5 (Bombardier).
Calgary: High floor section above TOR 985 mm 3.2 ft (S200 High-Floor Light Rail Vehicle Calgary, Alberta) – this seems very much linked to the 970 mm floor of original Siemens–Duewag U2 and the 1000 mm of the Stadtbahnwagen B family.

How to deal with that in the table?

Edit a range instead of a certain value? -- Großkatze (talk) 01:17, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
