Well he is so dumb I will not be surprised if he can multiply like simple cell by division.

Imagine a better world where he is arrested the moment he lands in the Hague.

The pause before the door opened, I would be shitting myself.

Yes, but in not a good way, adding hard to reach areas, screens and foldable beds imo is not the right direction.

Yeah fair point, it should be compatible with current infrastructure, so if we assume what they claim is true and they really can increase capacity/ reduce pollution is it ok.

What specifically about this solution makes it a gadgetbahn? Specifics are important here - what makes it less practical than current night train solutions?

More walls means less wagon space, also if it was interested only for night travel, why half the wagon is seats? How is that better than a night wagon filled with multiple story beds and one filled with seating? And why are there giant screens if the wagon is interested for sleeping?

night train experience

These wagons are intended to be operational specifically during night, when beds are vital. It's not a solution made for daytime travel, where we already have good configurations.

From their site:

With have run Tests with over hundreds of participants, each trying our various pods. Our “users” have communicated a high attractiveness of our technology both for day and night usage.

Their website shows and mentions daytime travel as well. If it is intended only for night travel makes a bit more sense, but still seems like a gadgetbahn.

Having half of the spaces being accessible for elderly and disabled people seems like a good enough ratio, given their relative share of the population.

I don't think it's good engineering practice to just decided half your product will be unusable/unacceptable.

I cannot definitely say it, but from the early mockups it doesn't seem promising to me.

Also the marketing of "revolutionary" "life-changing" and "solving all problems"(hyperboly of course) and providing only a very light redesign and a 3d visual is a big red flag.

I am basically afraid of this.

Double decker trains don't have a ladder, they have stairs.

Edit for clarification:

This is what stairs look like for the double decker trains, if you are in a wheelchair they are still mostly inaccessible, but we can see there are seats and spaces on the platform level for people with reduced mobility.

This are the proposed ladder(vertical stairs) for that futuristic wagon. Still inaccessible by wheelchair, but also inaccessible by people with reduced mobility.

If starving children protects the existence of your country maybe your country shouldn't exist.

Sounds like gadgetbahn.

If we want to solve for capacity we have this.

There are no sleeping wagons during the day because people rarely sleep during the day.

Also having narrow ladder to get to half the wagon for sure will be great for elderly and disabled people.

What a strange way to spell geriatric war criminal

We tried that about 375 million years ago, as we can all see, it was a mistake.
