Flat (2), английский
A spot on a wheel, caused by skidding or wheel slide, which causes a tapping sound as the wheel rotates and which can usually only be removed by expensive re-profiling of the wheel on a lathe or wheel turning machine. drivers are cautioned against too heavy braking in bad weather thus causing "flats". many attempts have been made over the years to reduce "flats" by wheel slide control systems which automatically reduce a brake application in the event of a slide. such systems generally encourage a driver to apply emergency braking which eliminates the wheel slide control and puts "flats" on the whole train instead of a few wheelsets. an effective solution to this problem is still awaited.
Island platform, английский
A single station platform with a track on either side, which is more efficient in facilities provision than two side platforms. it does tend to increase the land take however, because of the need to widen the track centres on the approaches to the station.
