Something old something new.



I wonder why they think the trains will be '... a cross between
those used on the Underground and those operating on the rail
network...'. All they need to be is normal main line stock with
appropriate wide sliding doors, surely?

AND

Higher proportion of standing to sitting space (than suburban stock)

NO need for Loos as most trips will be short
(Just think how many standing passengers you could get in a disabled
loo (;-)


Which I would guess means the Bombardier bid is a modified 376 to
include a pantograph.
