As do the Dutch. Double deck trains would reduce the necessity for
extending platforms at 600 quid per sq metre.

Are these for metro style trains though?

My understanding of crossrail is that it's sort a hybrid of something like
Silverlank overland services and the TUbe - ie bigger trains, but with quick
stop and pick up times.
