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.


How will the pantograph help on the third rail system planned for the ELLX
Phase 1? Possibly if ever extended along the NLL.

Paul
