This is the NSB Class 73. Great specs, EMU, etc...but dubious aesthetics here if I'm being generous.pic.twitter.com/wrE4vaR5M0

The Class 71 is very similar, used for rapid service to Oslo Airport. But what's with the AmEx ads? And why do u need stairs to board?pic.twitter.com/J4vLqla9RS

Low platforms are very common throughout Europe (and the USA), which is baffling to me. Trains are guided vehicles, they always arrive...

I think because the cost of fixing them would be very wild and also trains change sizes so I guess they want that flexibility

I mean in London fir example the problem is outside of the tube, some platforms are shared with trains of varying heights

makes sense under circumstances...but then again why not standardize heights?

right! that's the commonsensical solution but you know how transport investment is always too low to make stuff like that possible
