They would not be so cool if the service was as frequent, or the
trains as long as on most Underground lines.

To be fair, the Loop frequency is about every 5 minutes (4 New
Brighton, 4 West Kirby, 2 Chester, 2 Ellesmere Port) which isn't far
off parts of LU off peak. And 6 cars of 50x aren't far off the
length, though admittedly more trains are 3.


To be fair, I think those figures rather prove my point!

Tube lines seem to have a headway of 2 minutes and a typical Tube
train has 7 or 8 cars.
