Find The Needle Add My Company
"TRB worked in conjunction with Bombardier Transportation to design and develop an emergency detrainment door system for two different rail vehicles: The London Underground sub-surface rail fleet and the new Class 378 London Overground fleet. TRB Solution •TRB designed a hinge door for the London Underground and a plug-slide door for the London Overground. Both doors have complex but foolproof mechanical connections to enable occupants to escape from the train to track safely under an emergency situation. They can be opened from either side, and they illuminate automatically if power to the train is lost. •The doors were made from a combination of materials including metals, honeycomb and glass fiber composites and painted in-house by TRB. They passed all the testing requirements including ballistic performance, water ingress, dust ingress, load tests and FST. •TRB offers a full range of door types to suit all types of rail vehicles, complete with portal frame, seals, locks, and glazing. In-house load testing, leak testing, and simulated evacuation tests can also be performed."
