Stadler’s Post

California orders six Stadler hydrogen-powered trains for $127m. By Charlie Currie California’s Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has placed a $127m order with Stadler Rail for six further hydrogen-powered passenger trainsets. Building off an earlier order for four hydrogen-powered intercity trains in 2023, the new trains are expected to enter revenue service in 2027. Based on Stadler’s Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train (FLIRT) concept, according to Caltrans, the trainset design will make them more efficient, lighter and more affordable than traditional locomotive-hauled coaches. https://lnkd.in/dhPTkhFm

Passengers urged to plan ahead of major rail track upgrades in Huddersfield Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) is reminding passengers travelling along the rail line between Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York to plan their journeys ahead of time, as track upgrades in Huddersfield are due to take place each weekend throughout September and October. Over the two months, hundreds of engineers working on the multi-billion-pound scheme will replace approximately 650m of railway tracks. This work will enable trains to travel at higher speeds and improve the overall reliability of services passing through the area in the future, as the number of railway tracks will increase from two to four. https://lnkd.in/euKaDXrr Network Rail TransPennine Express

In discussions about rail transport innovation, the focus is usually on enhancing speed, efficiency, and connectivity. However, there's a pivotal, though often overlooked, aspect worth considering: RailWeight technology. More than just weighing, this technology plays a key role in improving railway dynamics and safety. #RailTransportInnovation #RailWeightTech #RailwaySafety #RailwayDynamics #RailIndustryAdvancements #EfficientRailSystems #TransportTech #FutureOfRailways #RailSectorGrowth #InnovativeRailSolutions
