Probably if the lines was to be built to tube gauge he'd suddenly be all
in favour of it. Personally I'd go the other way - forget through running
onto the main lines unless they can have their loading gauge increased and
just build sodding huge double decker trains RER style that can hoover up
passengers and stick the termini somewhere convenient for interchange onto the
main line or the tube.
