Indeed. However I do wonder with low floor tube stock how they're going to
cram in the equipment. Apparently its a bit of a squeeze even now getting the
stuff in under the floor.


Mainly through having fewer bogies with the articulated trains. The
carriages will have uninterrupted space between the ends.

See http://content.tfl.gov.uk/ntfl-feasibility-report.pdf


Looking at that document it seems more a case of using articulation to allow
walk through carraiges. Certainly in the drawing of the train the floor doesn't
look any lower than current stock to me.
