Ich wurde von der Pariser RATP nach folgendem gefragt:
We are preparing some works for our tram line T2, which terminates in Porte de Versailles in Paris. The tracks configuration of this station doesn’t authorize a headway shorter than 3’30”, and you know how this line (operated with double trams forming 64 m long trains) is overcrowded because it serves the La Défense hub.
In the future, in order to reduce the headway, we will move the reverting zone from before the station to behind the station, as in a classical metro terminal station. The present station which has a central platform will disappear and a station with 2 side platforms will be built.
The attached “T2 Porte de Versailles_Schémas” shows the present and the future situations.
The consequences in the customer-experience will be the following :
• the transfer walk between the Porte de Versailles crossing (where the metro line 12 entrances and the tram T3 line station are) and the T2 station will be 120 m longer,
• the transfer paths will be narrow and located along the trams reverting zone,
• the arrival platform will be on the city sidewalk and shouldn’t have any shelter.
Do you know a tram terminal station where the passengers in dense crowds must walk along a trams reverting zone with a big risk of use of this zone for the pedestrians themselves (at peak hours each arriving tram can unload 200 passengers and the total capacity of a double tram is 430 passengers)?
Persönlich sehe ich keinen besonderen Vorteil, Wendegleis und Bahnsteige zu trennen, was meint Ihr?
Fallen euch Endstationen wie angefragt ein?
