Top 10 Coolest Double Decker Trains Across the World

What are your most favorite double decker/bi-level train cars?

A bilevel car (American English) or double-decker coach (British English and Canadian English) is a type of railcar that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).

The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing line.

Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient, and may have a lower operating cost per passenger. A bilevel car may carry up to about twice as many as a normal car, if structure and loading gauges permit, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).

Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or on older railway systems with low loading gauge, most notably the majority of the British rail network. In some countries such as the UK new lines are built to a higher than the existing structure gauge to allow the use of double-deck trains in future ~Wikpedia
