The arrival of new T-gauge cars is an important step in the development of railway infrastructure and increasing the capacity of the Russian Railways network. The cars, which are larger in size, allow for more cargo to be transported per trip, which will optimize logistics and reduce transportation costs. Currently, T-gauge cars are undergoing testing on the Russian Railways network.
The new T-gauge compartment and staff passenger cars are 73 cm longer and 28 cm wider than the previous 1-VM gauge. This expansion of space has made it possible to increase passenger capacity and improve travel conditions.
Sleeping places are more comfortable due to increased parameters: the width of the shelves is 3 cm larger, the upper shelf is 16 cm longer, and the lower one is 6 cm longer.
The new type of compartment cars are more comfortable: each car now has 40 seats instead of 36, and the aisle is more spacious. In addition, passengers have access not only to two restrooms, but also to a separate shower cabin. The individual temperature control system in each compartment allows you to create an optimal microclimate.
Each compartment has sockets, light switches and safes. The lower shelves are equipped with built-in wireless chargers for smartphones, and folding tables for gadgets are provided for passengers in the upper seats.
One of the compartments in the car is designed in the "MOM+" concept. For passengers with children, the width of the sleeping shelves has been additionally increased, and the interior is decorated in bright colors.
The new generation of staff cars, which have an increased gauge, are now equipped with two special compartments for passengers with disabilities (instead of one), as well as restrooms with adapted equipment. For the convenience of passengers with reduced mobility, a new, more reliable lifting device is provided for boarding and disembarking from low platforms.
