Useful new article. Probably appropriate to add comments about the LNER corridor tenders for A3s/A4s. Also, where diesel locos were fitted with connecting nose doors, could these provide access to an adjacent coach?
Just as an afterthought, this article is rather UK-centric at present! (But before anyone else criticises, perhaps they can expand the article with their knowledge of non-UK practice!)

Just had a thought, on seeing that new pic, although it is teetering off-topic...
That corridor must have resulted in an odd weight distribution between the left and right wheels of the tender. How did they balance this out? A similar void on the opposite side would be the simple answer, but rather a waste of space, yet using the volume for coal/water would introduce a varying lateral weight distribution. (I'm working on the basis that a conventional tender will have the coal/water weight distributed laterally about the centre-line, and with a predictable variance fore-and-aft as either supply is used up.)

help)As a non-native speaker of English, I have problems finding the correct technical terms for corridor connections. I know the old style type is mostly called diaphragm de:Faltenbalg. But what do you call a de:Gummiwulst? Are there different words for it in British, American and Australian English?-- Gürbetaler ( talk) 19:48, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
I've added File:GreatCentralRailwayE70268E.JPG to illustrate an offset gangway. Could really do with one on a passenger-carrying coach. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 19:35, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
I just merged this article with the article "Corridor (rail vehicle)", and I noticed that the article "Corridor coach" is very similar. I would propose a merger between "Corridor connection" and "Corridor coach". The articles about railway vestibules (a disinct but related concept) are similarly messy.

Need to add info on modern types. For example, this one can clearly be tilted back when not in use; it seems to be associated with the Voith coupler. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 10:19, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
This and articulated car seem to be covering roughly the same topic. -- Kendrick7 talk 02:11, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
This formerly appeared at the top of the article:
It's my opinion that this is unnecessary, because the title Corridor (rail vehicle) is completely unambiguous. Hatnotes are there to say "Did you mean...?" such as one on Bach (about the most famous composer of that name) linking to Bach (disambiguation) in case a reader searching for "Bach" meant some other Bach. It seems very unlikely to me that a reader coming here from Corridor (rail vehicle) would have been looking for any other kind of corridor. If they did, they would see that it's about a specific kind of corridor and search for "corridor" - which would send them to Corridor, a disambiguation page.

At present, obviously, it's only about Great Britain. 83.248.231.116 ( talk) 20:13, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Corridor train redirects here, from a dab page. Having ridden a lot of British trains in the 1950s & 60s, & read much early 20th century English fiction, I believe the term (at least as used historically) refers to a carriage with a corridor connecting the compartments, not the coupling vestibule between cars. Strange as it seems now, many if not most commuter trains in the period I am writing of had separate compartments, isolated from each other, each with its own outside doors. "Corridor train" was therefore an important distinction, distinguishing a train of such cars from a longer-haul (or more modern) train with compartments connected by a corridor, usually with a WC at the end.
Perhaps this is covered in another article, to which the dab & redirect should point. Or it could be added here. Suggestions? D Anthony Patriarche ( talk) 11:46, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
