Default EU lending for Crossrail

If they had double deckers they wouldn't need 24tph. Even if they're
not
planning UIC gauge trains, building the tunnels to UIC gauge would
cost little
if anything extra. But this is britain, planning for unforseen future
needs is
frowned upon as we all know.

Increased dwell times would mean longer journeys at /any/ tph and and
lower tph would mean longer wait times too.

Any designs for double decker /platforms/ to go with double decker
trains ?
