" And 378s won't be used on GOBLIN either. Are they planning on buying a whole new set of EMUs just for the goblin then? No I find that hard to believe. Do you *really* not know what trains are being built for the line? Is Spud related to Mr Ludd by any chance? No. I'm simply Mr Taxpayer who isn't thrilled by seeing huge wads of cash spent on this project when there was a much simpler and cheaper alternative. The whole freight argument is bogus since the vast majority of UK freight is diesel hauled and there is already a 25KV path for freight across north london anyway. With your expert knowledge of LO, the Goblin, UK railfreight and electric traction, you must be right. But the people actually putting up the money thought differently. If only they had had access to some expert consulting from you! |
