Default Double deck Crossrail

"Chetoph" wrote in message m...
As Crossrail is in all likelihood going to be a regional link, as
opposed to an intercity one, are there any reasons why it could not
run double deck trains similar to those is Paris?


Presumably the tunnel(s) would need a larger diameter, and would
cost proportionately more to dig, if the trains were double deck.

Crossrail have already stated that the trains will be twice as long as a
"normal" tube train.
