So to run UIC stock, you will need to rebuild every platform on the route, and in so doing make those platforms unusable by conventional UK rolling Fair point. But I'm sure they could build some sort of compromise stock that could use the full UIC height and also width above platform level that would still be within UK gauge below platform level. But much of the lower deck on UIC double-deckers is below platform level. Well it would be nice to have the extra width anyway which would allow proper 3+2 seating  B2003 |
