The APT-P structure is designed to accept transient pressure variations between 1.6kN/m2 above ambient and 3.2kN/m2 below ambient during passage through a tunnel. The severest limitation to train speed implied by this transient pressure range occurs when 2 trains pass in a double bore tunnel, of mini cross section, with...
