The trains can be coupled together reaching a total of 12 cars. There are 96 seats on the leading cars and 122 seats on the intermediate cars. Depending upon the configuration, the TSR transportation capacity can vary form 314 seats for a single 3 car train to 1360 seats for two 6 car trains coupled.
