Here in Sweden, the train company SJ had tilting trains for the 2000 model and abandoned the concept for the 3000 model, because passengers complained of discomfort, or so SJ said. A small speed boost is not worth tilting the train.
- Grustaf 5y agoI for one definitely find X2000 uncomfortable, I often take the slow train that takes an hour longer just to avoid the motion sickness.
- throwx2 5y agoAs a counter point, I’ve commuted daily with X2000 for a few years (except currently, of course). Much prefer it over 3000. Very occasionaly I can feel a little motion sickness. Once when the tilting was out of order a guy next to me did solitaire with a deck of cards. And then there was a bend, and all his cards ended up on the floor.. But I think it is a bit of an acquired taste.
- Grustaf 5y agoI didn’t even know about x3000 actually, maybe I’ve taken it unknowingly!
