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
stock because the gap would be too wide.

Depends how much money one wants to spend. Interlaced track can get
smaller rolling stock the same distance from a platform. This is an
issue which will arise with the high speed line too, where two
different sizes of vehicle were proposed before the general
election.
