VAG Class DT3
The VAG Class DT3 is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft Nürnberg on the Nuremberg U-Bahn system. It is the first type of rolling stock on the Nuremberg U-Bahn that has gangways between the individual cars. Formation Every DT3 train consists of two permanently coupled cars, forming a twin-unit. The cars are connected with a gangway, allowing passengers to walk into the adjacent car. The trains are equipped with automatic couplers, enabling operation of up to two units together to form a four-car train. Interior Seating accommodation consists of transverse seating bays as well as folding seats. The trains have displays which show the name of the next station, and CCTV cameras. Passenger information screens and a passenger counting system are implemented in the DT3-F trains. Technical specifications The car bodies are made out of aluminium, and the trains are powered by three-phase-asynchronous motors. As they are used in automatic operation, the DT3 trains are not equipped with full driving cabs, but only with small concealed driving panels, which are used for maintenance. The DT3-F trains are equipped with full driving cabs, enabling them to be used on driver operated services on non-automated lines. The
