Doesn't some of the running line have two small tunnels while other parts and the stations have larger single tunnels. I'm not sure about the exact layout of the stations, but those bits I'd assume would need to be rebuilt a bit anyway for non-conflicting passenger ingress / egress. Rebuilt *a bit*? There is no comparison between the scale and space needed to cope with 10-car full-size passenger trains and what was needed to handle a few mailbags. This idea of yours to take this toy railway and its stations and enlarge it a bit to transform it into Crossrail is just daft. -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address) |
