Abstract
Features of the British Railways experimental Advanced Passenger Train that is reported to offer the prospect of 250 km/hr on existing tracks and possibly 400 km/hr on new lines, and greatly extending the range of conventional steel-rail track by virtue of a suspension which combines a high critical speed and passage through curves without flange contact.
