Actually, the Maglev is often critiziced for not being good for luggage. Actually I had NO problem, INSTEAD, the Metro has a BIG problem, you cannot get through the barrier (that rotating "spider" where the ticket is checked!) with big luggage especially with trolleys! The first time I managed to lift my stuff over it, the second time I was smarter and could "slide" the stuff below the barrier before getting trough! But no good solution at all! > Note the picture of the switch (turnout) connecting the two roadways. It looks like they have > bendable sections to accomplish this! Yep, they have, actually there are to different types differing in the max. speed you can go over it (in the bended state) and radius of curvature. In the straight-through setting there is no limit (> 500 km/h). All can be learned in the "museum" at LongYang Zhan! Joachim |
