Over 3m wide wide??? Surely that can't be right. Thats wider than
UIC gauge. I can't believe they'd fit in the tunnels.
It's why the images show a near circular cross-section, taking
advantage of the tunnel shape.

Hmm, I don't think I'd want to be leaning against those doors for
very long! LU would require chiropractors on standby at every station.
Probably ideal for backpackers to lean against.
