What is the right width for a railway carriage?
Question: What is the right width for a railway carriage?
Answer: 3 metres inside, 3.2 metres externally. This gives enough space for seats, armrests and a gangway in between.
If there is any significant new railway construction to take place in Britain, this should be kept in mind. Future building should not be sub-standard. Britain was the first country to have railways. We made the mistake of building them too small. Now is the time to make good.
