    I read somewhere the biggest problem with the tilt on the APT was it was too good and passengers couldn't feel it tilt. The only way you could tell it was tilting was by looking out of the window and watching the horizon rise and fall. Without feeling the train tilt, the brain gets confused. I find the tilt on Pendolinos ok, but the Swiss RABDe 500 tilting trains make me feel a bit uncomfortable on some of the more twisty routes.
