Something old something new.



I wonder why they think the trains will be '... a cross between those used
on the Underground and those operating on the rail network...'. All they
need to be is normal main line stock with appropriate wide sliding doors,
surely?


AND

Higher proportion of standing to sitting space (than suburban stock)

NO need for Loos as most trips will be short
(Just think how many standing passengers you could get in a disabled loo
(;-)
