If they want to really future proof it they should build UIC gauge double decker trains instead of ****ing around with piddly UK gauge EMUs that will be packed from day 1. It won't happen of course because there might be the odd bridge that'll need raising by a foot on the out of london routes. Obviously this would be a huge expense compared to digging 10 miles of tunnel under london.... B2003 |
