Abstract

In an earlier paper the Jo-Jo train Concept is presented, a linear docking train and a railway “switch” without moving parts. There it is described as if it required a completely new railway to be built on pillars or land bridges along or above existing highways. However, one could consider a simplified version of the Jo-Jo Concept to be introduced on existing railways. The only prerequisite needed is at least one station located at a siding. In this paper is shown how for instance an LGV stepwise can get more stations without prolonged travel time for the TGV. Earlier bypassed cities are revitalised. In another application of the Jo-Jo Concept a less used line might be saved by linear docking on all its stations, a game changer.
