Talk:Flexity Classic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What exactly is the "vigilance control" on Adelaide variant of the Flexity Classic?Myrtone (the strict Australian wikipedian)

Vigilance control is accurately described in the Wikilink to Dead man's switch. I'm not sure why it is listed as a specific feature of the Adelaide Flexity's (I did not add that comment). My understanding is that this is a common feature on all modern tram/light rail vehicles - to that extent that vigilance control on a new tram would only really be worth a mention if it wasn't provided for some reason.EnglishElectric 12:55, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

"[V/C] is a common feature on all modern tram/light rail vehicles" No it's not, see this page, and here for Melbourne Combinos' deadmans'.Myrtone (the strict Australian wikipedian)

IIRC The Adelaide Flexity's were a piggy back on the Frankfurt order, so I doubt vigilance control was an addition, as they are (or are ~99%) the same tram with different paint. Curiously someone didn't mention Frankfurt in the article apart from the picture. --Mcbridematt 11:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
