Although all modern electric stock can easily be AC or DC in
principle, the S Stock wasn't designed with any space for an AC
transformer, unlike all modern EMU stock designed for use on NR.

Hence my suggestion to use third rail electrification to Aylesbury, which
is perfectly adequate for Chiltern speeds.

Wouldn't Amersham be better for AC/DC switchover? S Stock doesn't need to go
north of there and Chilterns speeds could be raised.

But, should a suburban service to Amersham be in the hands of a rapid
transit operator? TfL have gradually reduced the max speed and
passenger comfort on the route.
