TTC Hawker Siddeley UTDC H6 arriving/departing Sherbourne Stn.

[0501701]

do the older H6 trains travel slower than the normal, newer bombardier trains? what speed do they normally travel at? riding on the TTC each time, i always wonder

[046547717]

The bombardier trains are the slowest we have. The fastest trains are the H4's. The H5's and H6's are pretty much the same

[046547717]

I forgot to mention, the bombardier trains can only go about 70km/h. The H4's can do about 95km/h with ease and as the H5 and H6 trains they can go about 80-85km/h

Is that because of safety?

Because if some happens with the tracks, wouldn't a T1 stop faster than a H4 if they were both on MAX speed?

[046547717]

I would believe so, I have to look more into it

As far as has been disclosed by the commission, they all have a maximum design speed of 55 mph/ 88 km/h but a maximum operating speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. I have seen the T1's read as high as 60 in the driver's cab at parallel. harder to keep track on the H series because they dont have clearly visible digital gauges.
