That's a much better picture.


If those are indeed two separate twin-axle bogies, they're very close to
the ends of the carriages, which means there won't be much relative
movement between them (compared to normal carriages with much more
overhang). This makes it much easier to fit open gangways.


First it was because tube trains are too narrow, then it was because they're
not articulated, now you're grasping at this straw. Just admit you were wrong.
