Possibly wrong fact in Loading gauge article
In 2011 you edited the English loading gauge article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Loading_gauge&diff=prev&oldid=437744890 In your edit you claim that a TGV duplex is 4,320mm high. I could not find a single reference on the internet confirming this. In case you know any please add them. This number feels highly implausible: TGV duplex coaches are bi-level coaches even in the area of the doors. They are accessible without steps from standard 550mm platforms. The height of either level won't be below 1,900 mm as many Europeans are quite tall. Even if you look over the additional height needed for the intermediate floor and the roof (at least 60 mm) you get a height beyond 4,320mm. Things would have to be really tight and many people would bang their heads if you were correct. However I have not found a source for another height either, so I'd suggest removing this fact from both the loading gauge and the TGV duplex articles.

- @Tobias Brohl: unsurprisingly, I have no recollection of that edit. I wouldn't have just made up that figure and sure enough, it seem practically certain that I copied it from SNCF TGV Duplex. So your investigation needs to move on to the history of that article. Of course my edit should have been cited, so absolutely feel free to delete without further reference to me (or correct it when you find the truth). --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:28, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- @John Maynard Friedman: Hello,
User:Tobias Brohl is a "loose cannon" who does not know his behind from his elbow. His user page tells us nothing about himself and there is no record of any contributions on his part. Please see my reply to him at User talk:Peter Horn#Possible error in TGV Duplex article. Peter Horn User talk 20:19, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
