Talk:Rapid transit in India/Archive 1

Standards
It is noted that Indian Metro Rail Lines are not all built to the same standards:

Gauge: (Standard gauge or Broad gauge) Power: 25kV AC or 750VDC 3-rail) Loading Gauge: ???? Auto Train Operation: ???? Couplings: ???? Brakes: ????

So while the cities are widely spaced, it is not clear if rolling stock of one city can be transferred to another in case of say a depot fire, or extra traffic due to say the Olympic Games.

Gauge and Power are fairly clear, and represent world standards, while other like loading gauge are hard for outsiders to know.

Coimbatore Metro
No citation about Coimbatore Metro is given and no Page on Coimbatore Metro exist. Please provide some links for that. Ashok4himself (talk) 19:44, 30 December 2011 (UTC) Since no one provided the reference for Coimbatore Metro and still no page exist for Coimbatore Metro, so removing it from the list as a cleanup. I also tried to find references but could not get any and infact found that there is plan for monorail in Coimbatore which is still not decided. 19:01, 13 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashok4himself (talk • contribs)

Regarding inclusion criteria
The title of this article is "Rapid transit in India". Rapid transit is a type of high-capacity public transport generally found in urban areas according to its Wikipedia definition. Why is then Kundala Valley Railway and Patiala State Monorail Trainways which were used to transport goods included under Monorail section of this article? Simply because they had run on a monorail track? - Jayadevp  13  14:15, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * They were evidently put there because someone thought they needed to be there. I don't think it is needed because they are old. Really old. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:41, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Moreover they are not even rapid transit systems. They were most probably added because they ran on monorail. - Jayadevp  13  07:13, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Gauge and Space
The following statement is really bunkam:

One exception is the Ahmedabad Metro, which will use Broad gauge, as there is more space available inside the coach.

The difference between 1435mm and 1676mm gauges is so small (241mm) that the maximum car width is not effected.

For example the old 1435mm gauge suburban trains in NSW were 3200mm wide (10' 6"), as wide as Indian Broad Gauge cars.   Tabletop (talk) 09:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Skitube uses 1435mm gauge and has very wide cars of 3800mm (12' 6") wide.   Tabletop (talk) 09:21, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Bogies or Bodies ?
Is this right: "In June 2012, the plant won an order to supply semi-finished bogies to Australia" ?
