message: Any information on the Combino cab controls, is it true that only the Melbourne versions have dead-man's vigilance devices? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.75.127 (talk) 01:12, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not true, I'd say. German law requires all passenger vehicles must be provided with a vigilance system to automatically brake if the driver is incapacitated. Since Combinos are made by Siemens, I'm sure they'll be built in as standard. Dead man's handles are an old fashioned form of this, and a quick google suggests the Aussies are looking into enhanced driver vigilance systems after a train crash showed the dead man's handle was insufficient.

message: I have noticed that the Dutch version of this article is more informative than the Anglophone version, escpecially on technical side. The Anglophone version still does not explain the origin of the name but the Dutch version does. Could anyone translate the following text:
De naam "Combino" is afgeleid van het werkwoord "combineren"
Myrtone
*Easy to understand: name "combino" is derived from verb → to combine! In this case, as for all low floor types (like LEGO-toys): modular constructon = confection-made problems. Retired Dutch ing. D.A. Borgdorff, El. PEng. HTM / The Hague >Add.>86.83.155.44 08:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: A few days ago I corrected the usage of "car" for a multiple module tram - "car", "carbody" refers to a single module (sometimes section). Then my usage of "trainset" for a fixed consist of multiple modules has been edited as illicit usage. I looked for examples of usage, and found it is used (more often in the USA), though rarely - Bombardier or Alstom just prefers "tram" in their publications. It may be that usage changed with the appearance of trams with more than two-three sections. In the end I accept the change, but would welcome some (semi-official) source for a terminology definition making this distinction. 62.201.85.135 16:29, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
