Well, the info says digital tilting hydraulics was tested 2013-2015 without faults and VR decided to install it on all trains. Couldn't find newer info.

- usr1106 6y agoI might have been wrong that the tilting mechanism has been completely disabled. A web search turned out only that it has been limited: https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-7047961 https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-7047961 And a press release by the railway company from 2011 says that the higher speed enabled by the tilting is no longer reflected in the timetables https://www.vrgroup.fi/fi/vrgroup/uutishuone/uutiset-ja-tiedotteet/kaukojunien-aikataulut-muuttuvat-31-lokakuuta-121020110130/ https://www.vrgroup.fi/fi/vrgroup/uutishuone/uutiset-ja-tied... I would say that has not changed afterwards. Either way, travelling slower through the curves has stopped the wobbly feeling for the passengers. So in practice the tilting has been a dead end in real life for the Finnish railways. Even if I did not really follow the argumentation in the article why tilting is a dead end.
