Regional and intercity trains connect city districts or suburbs with each other or run in a loop through the metropolitan area. Easy access to all stations and a comfortable ride make travelling a pleasant experience for train passengers.
This places special challenges on gangways: Due to large tunnel networks, gangway systems for regional and intercity trains often require particularly high sound insulation. And they must ensure easy and convenient access between carriages, especially for people with trolly bags or wheelchair users. In some regional and intercity trains, passengers must also be able to stand in the gangway area.
Usually regional and intercity trains are connected with a special type of joint so that there is no lateral displacement of the gangways. This allows passengers to walk on the gangway floor with reduced vibration and lateral shifting.
Dellner gangways for intercity and regional trains are designed with these demands in mind. In addition, high quality requirements apply to the production of our gangways. This is because Dellner gangways are designed as durable products that require little maintenance over the lifetime of a train.
