Permanently coupled trains
Hi everyone,
I am writing an article about past/present/future of long distance passenger trains.
These trains used to consist of coupled coaches but this solution is being replaced by permanently coupled trains. I guess it is because of (future) implementation of ETCS level 3 (where axle counters won't be needed anymore) but do you have any other ideas why is it happening? What can be benefits of using permanently coupled trains?
