# High-Speed Train Transfers Moving Platforms from Priestmangoode Makes Train Travel Faster By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-23 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-platforms-from-priestmangoode References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2011/06/22/moving-platforms-by-priestmangoode/) & [priestmangoode](http://www.priestmangoode.com/) Moving Platforms from Priestmangoode is a conceptual system that would allow [high-speed trains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tgv-inoui) to transfer passengers while in motion. Created by Paul Priestman of Priestmangoode, the system is designed to make high-speed rail travel more efficient by eliminating the need for stops. The Moving Platforms system works by having the slower local trains and trams pull up alongside of a high-speed train. The high-speed train slows down and docks with the regular train, acting as a moving transfer. A design such as Moving Platforms could really go a long way with regards to getting the public to accept a [high-speed rail system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treo). You can see a conceptual design of Priestman's Moving Platforms here.
