HTM Avenio

[Sjoerd]

Okay, then so it'll be
(Hageningen is not The Hague after all, so they may just have ordered a shorter variant)

-> Normal 4-section R-Net Avenio's have been parked at tracks 27 and 28 (for line 15). For lines 14, 16 and 17; the shorter 3 section variant.

I much rather prefer the RegioCitadis trams as they have I think the same length as the Citylink. In Hageningen you can use all 72 of them on every line. You can even couple those trams however not all of them have couplers. Only the 4001-4025 and the 4055-4072 have couplers. 4026-4054 don't have them. 4001-4054 were built between 2006 and 2007 and 4055-4072 were built in 2011.

EDIT: RegioCitadis will have the same problem at Bos and its worse than the Avenio. The Length of the Avenio is 35,0 meters, while the RegioCitadis is 36,76 meters.

Then the fictional 3-part Avenios drive on lines 14,16,17 and the Citadis Regiotrams on lines 11,12,13,15, insofar as the vehicles are originally built to run on diesel or with 2 different voltages.

Do you realize, that Hagenigen tram network and Simvliet light rail use the same Voltage? They both use 750V DC, so no need for 2 system trams.

The Avenios run on 600V actually

[RotterdamMetroLover]

And the RegioCitadis also run on 600 and 750V

I did not know that.

The tram network uses 600 volts while the lightrail uses 750 volts.

Wow if i see the Screenshots from the Avenio can i not more wait for the update

The tram network uses 600 volts while the lightrail uses 750 volts.

Then it's strange, I didn't see any voltage separators on overhead wiring nor signs with voltages written on them, when I entered light rail from tram network and vice versa.

And the RegioCitadis also run on 600 and 750V

Fact: As I mentioned in "Creativity: Train Design Ideas" topic, do you know that even Tatra T3 tram can run on both 600V and 750 V DC? Although in Prague it's powered by 600V DC, it can be powered by 750V DC without any damage. This was intentionally done in the past by manufacturer. Tatra Smíchov (Tatra T3's manufacturer) counted with option, that Prague transport company may raise the voltage in tram overhead wiring. That never actually hapened 'till nowadays, but the ability to withstand 750 V DC remained in Tatra T3 trams, just in case.
