TWhat is needed is not heigher cars that may be double
decked with the problems you mention, but WIDER cars
which take little if any greater time to load but carry much
more people. Anyone who's been on the NYC subway
knows how many people those 10 foot wide BMT/IND
cars can swallow up. Of course the british loading guage
becomes a problem then but perhaps theres some way
of getting the bodywork to overhang the platforms?

That will slow down boarding and reduce capacity, because of the subsequent
huge increase in the number of wheelchair users.
