Alstom must be the favourite to win the order, but I assume there will have
to be a competitive tender, so Bombardier, say, could win. Maybe it'll be a
variant of your favourite thick-walled 2009 stock?


IMO the 2009 is actually a nice train except for the bloody stupid interior
layout. If they pushed the seats right back they could have 2 rows of people
standing in the isles like on the 92 stock on the central (at the places where
the seats are right up against the windows) instead of just 1.
