Example Sentences
- "The new trains will also be fully 'walk-through', with no carriage end-doors. Travelling on them is like riding on a sinuous, moving corridor. It's less claustrophobic than the old arrangement, but now you can no longer choose the carriage not occupied by the declaiming loony."
- "Unlike the older trains, the new units have walk-through carriages and longitudinal rather than transverse seating."
