fixed-formation train
Explanation:
Vehicles can be lifted individually or, if a fixed formation is used for normal service, more recent practice has been to lift the whole train set.
http://www.railway-technical.com/train-maint.html

As a starting point, MODTRAIN will concentrate on fixed-formation passenger trains and universal locomotives capable of 200 km/h or more.

This train was produced to operate on the Tokyo Subway Line No. 12, a small bore tunnel subway. It has a fixed 8-car 8M formation.

Multiple unit trains, ie those with distributed power, performed marginally better than fixed formation trains with head end power.

agree  Witold Wiechowski: Four basic design rules were set for the (TGV) trains—a maximum 17-ton axle load, fixed formation train sets... http://tinyurl.com/b3p7v Ale nie wszystkie "fixed formation trains" poruszają się z prędkością powyżej 200km/h. Poprawiłem nieczynny link .

  -> Oczywiście, zgadza się... Jednak bez szerszego kontekstu zachowałbym rozróżnienie między "tilting" a "fixed-formation"

przypuszczam, że pojęcie "zespolony" ma swoje źródło w fakcie, że przechył (tilting)na zakręcie zapewnia lepsze zespolenie pociągu z torami

neutral  Jaroslaw Michalak: "zespolony" oznacza w tym przypadku, że wagony (i ew. lokomotywa) stanowią jedną całość
1 hr
  -> chyba masz rację ale wydaje mi się, że zespolenie pociągu w jedną całość było konsekwencją zastosowania "tilting feature", która jest podstawowym warunkiem przekraczania przez pociąg predkości 200 km/h.
neutral  pidzej: TGV nie wychyla się a jedzie sporo szybciej (lecz wymaga torów o znacznie łagodniejszych łukach)
9 hrs
  -> zgadza się, potwierdza to link: http://tinyurl.com/8g5ks. Ale jak, w takim razie, dobrać nazwę angielską aby gwarantowała prędkość ponad 200 km - czy high-speed train spełnia te wymogi?
