I distinctly remember arguing on this group a few years back with someone
saying that walk through tube trains would be impossible because of [insert
nonsense reason about loading gauge here]. Good thing for them I can't
remember
who it was and I'm too lazy to go through the archives otherwise there would
be
a serious session of I Told You So right now.

I would prefer to wait and see them in service. A drawing and a
snazzy video does not a working, viable production train make. And it
wasn't me who argued with you in the past. I don't really care very
much but each of the Picc, Bakerloo and Central have their own
particular constraints and issues so there has to be a tiny question
in my mind that one generic design will inevitably be compromised in
order to fit all three routes without any problems.

Well if they managed to produce stock that could run on all 3 lines in the
1950s I'm pretty sure they can manage it in the 21st century.
