Title: Poor air quality levels on some diesel trains Post by: TaplowGreen on October 02, 2021, 08:14:26 Rather worrying - air quality on some diesel trains worse than standing by the side of the road!
"The highest level of nitrogen dioxide was on a Hitachi Class 800 train between London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads". https://www.railmagazine.com/news/network/2021/09/29/rssb-research-exposes-poor-air-quality-on-diesel-trains?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Title: Re: Poor air quality levels on some diesel trains Post by: JayMac on October 02, 2021, 08:47:51 Ssh.

A lesser issue than train length/availability and facilities.

Not if you're prone to respiratory ailments. Title: Re: Poor air quality levels on some diesel trains Post by: TaplowGreen on October 02, 2021, 14:17:22 Ssh.

Which "facilities" are more important than the quality of the air you're breathing? Title: Re: Poor air quality levels on some diesel trains Post by: Bmblbzzz on October 02, 2021, 14:37:24 Ssh.

Which "facilities" are more important than the quality of the air you're breathing? Obviously air that is seriously contaminated is a most important issue. However I am not convinced that I am exposed to any significant health risks from the air on board trains.

I'd take that over Nitrogen dioxide! :D Title: Re: Poor air quality levels on some diesel trains Post by: Bmblbzzz on October 02, 2021, 19:34:37 Give BNM some whipped cream and you could take it over nitrous oxide...
