<p>[quote user="243129"]As I have stated previously use of the independent brake to reduce speed, no matter the increment, on a 'live' passenger train is indicative of poor train handling and lack of or poor training.[/quote]</p> <p>Under the assumption that the engineer wanted to reduce speed to comply to 79 mph speed limit: Is it really poor train handling with semi-permanent coupled Talgo train and almost no slack that can run in? And the remaining slack is cushioned.</p> <p>See links about Talgo equipment in my post ten posts back on previous page.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
