DOUBLE-DECK TRAIN CARRIAGE
LONDON Locked in a shed at Lancing, Sussex, this week, was Britain’s first doubledeck railway carriage. The carriage is only a mock-up (a lightly-built, full-size trial model), but Southern Region engineers are keeping the design secret until experts in other regions of Britain’s nationalised railways have seen it. If it succeeds, the carriage will answer British Railways’ twin problems —shortage of passenger rolling-stock, and suburban time-tables so crowded that no more trains can be crammed on to the rails.
