It's automated so it knows exactly when to brake.

The Victoria line trains are automatic so the train knows exactly when to slow down

but the eyes if you see that train it will be more speeder

The trains operate under ATO so they dont overshoot the platforms at high speed approaches, but yes, this was a normal speed for the approach to a station

ATO

Thnx yep

No shit Sherlock.

I had a hunch about your question and so I went digging. Here is the information I found. The train is a Brritish-owned Mark 3 TGV (by its serial no. 3015), known as BR class 373, or Eurostar e300 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_373). The wheels are arranged in two axles, connected together by a framework known as a 'bogie'. Thus each bogie has 4 wheels. As you noticed, most bogies are shared between two coaches. Such bogies are called 'Jacob's bogies'. It's a conspicuous (though not unique) feature of French TGVs. If you count the coaches/cars, you'll find that the train has 20 coaches. The point you noticed - where each coach had separate bogies, is exactly in the middle of the train. You will also notice that the inter-coach corridor is also different at that point. The entire train is symmetric about that point. There are 9 passenger cars and 1 power car (at the extreme end) on either side of that point. The 9 passenger cars form what is known as a 'trainset' (a half set in this case). Those 9 coaches are permanently connected to each other by the Jacob's bogie and an articulated joint. You cannot separate them, except at a factory. Their electrical and signal connections are also permanent. The middle two coaches is where the two half sets meet. That joint is made using non-permanent couplers known as 'Scharfenberg couplers'. This means that you can split the train in half if you need to. As you can imagine, a shared Jacob's bogie at that point will make separations impossible. If you look closely, the same arrangement is there between the end power cars and the adjacent coach. The reason given for this is safety. In case of a fire on the train inside the channel tunnel, passengers would be asked to go to the safe half of the train. Then the burning side will be jettisoned by emergency uncoupling. Including the middle section and the two power cars, there are 3 sections where the emergency uncoupling can be done. For more details, have a look at this wikipedia section: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_373#Bogies_and_couplings

@@gokuldastvm I knew about the Jacob's formation, but I didn't know it was for fire safety reasons...

@@TheosTrainsWalesOfficialHonestly, that was news for me too. I thought it was to make 2 trains, each half as long (which would still be long). But the article was very clear. And I got to learn about Scharfenberg couplers as a bonus.

Congratulations on your observation. I didn’t even notice!

Tnx bro

Yes

Aren't 73s becoming unreliable aswell ? Hopefully some magic funding comes from somewhere and the NtFL gets a order added on otherwise 5 years from now won't be looking good

ooooo

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

May I ask why you're not allowed to record? It's just a mode of transit.

bro you obviously don't know tfl's rules...
