The invention relates to rail vehicles. Rail vehicles travelling on a curved track section, even at relatively modest speeds, are subjected to a rolling action and the passengers are subjected to centrifugal force. Rolling can be controlled by suspension systems and associated anti-roll bar systems, and the effects of centrifugal force can be countered by canting the track. With, such as, high speed trains, the above is not sufficient, and has led to proposals for tilting the rail vehicle body as it progresses around a curve. The object of the invention seeks to improve on known tilting means, an objective met by a construction of rail vehicle comprising a body (5), a body support assembly (1) and an anti-roll bar system (2-4, 6-15), characterised by the connection between the body (5) and the anti-roll bar system (2-4, 6-15) being adjustable to one or both sides of the body (5) to allow the height of the body (5) above the body support assembly (1) to at least one side, to be increased or decreased to a required degree, to cause tilting of the body (5) in relation to the body support assembly (1) in a required direction.
