Quote from: Markiz on June 23, 2023, 16:06:56Surely a multi pronged approach is in reality always necessary, and often gives the benefit of being more resilient.

It's still sad that batteries are NEEDED in trains.

Why is it sad exactly?

Batteries or fuel cells in trains are dumb, just build the damn catenary line or 3rd rail to supply the power, it will be expensive short term but MUCH CHEAPER in the long run.

Background: In Wegberg-Wildenrath, Notebookcheck.com was able to take a look at (and take lots of pictures of) the latest electric multiple units (EMUs) with LTO (lithium titanate oxide) batteries and fuel cells, which can run independently of an overhead line (electrical cable). We also show the first large fleet scenario that will take place around Berlin.
