    Tilt Train Technology

    By Posted on 2.12.2020 5 Comments

    The NSW Government is thinking about building a high-speed rail line from Sydney to Canberra. Now, don’t get us wrong, this might not utilize a tilt train. In fact, if it includes building all new rail lines, it is a distinct possibility that a tilt train wont be used. However, the idea behind the tilt train is one of the more fascinating aspects of rail, so we’ve had a quick look to find out just how it works.

    I very much doubt that the interior doesn't tilt with the rest of the carriage. The fact is that the passengers would normally be pushed to the outside of the curve by the centrifugal force and the carriage tilt actually counteracts this force and gives the passengers less sensation of turning around the bend. I would be surprised if there was a tendency for passengers to suffer from nausea due to the tilting action. Mal
