I take your point. I understand that in some places, they have

DD trams used to be standard in the British Isles,


Some nice examples can be seen at London's Transport Museum in Covent
Garden.

and trains, too. Seems like an easy and general way to
increase capacity (obviously not very practical for tube lines, though).


Not, a tube, but the Thameslink-like RER in Paris has double deck
trains.


SNCB run double-deck commuter trains in the Greater Brussels area (and
maybe elsewhere, I don't know). I understand NS run DD trains in
Amsterdam too.
