  2. not comparablerail transportOf passenger carriages in a train, having no doors in gangway connections between the carriages, often in combination with longitudinal seating, creating a "see-through" effect through the train.

    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.
