Now that the S stock trains are slowly going to be introduced into service how

will it have to go by road?

Ah, but, in kinematic envelope terms the vehicles are relatively short
(16m according to wackypædia) so the throw on curves would not be as
substantial as an equiv. 20m carriage.

Need to sit down and do the geometry to work out how much, mind
