This is what the Minister had to say almost exactly a year ago on bi-modes as a justification to cancel electrification on the MML (again): "bi-mode trains will produce better service, more capacity and will be better trains".

I'll bet it was really productive for the railway that I was removed without any warning as design lead for this project! Good to see TRU E1A moving on at least...

I cannot express the extent to which the running of HSTs on this line is going to end in disaster... A toy train made of fibreglass designed for high quality signalling and track, running amongst full-sized freight trains on dreadful track and mostly without signalling: 🚩🚩🚩

Back in 2017, I started making a lot of public noise about how Crossrail had screwed up its design and locked-in inaccessible travel forever without major work on the central stations... Here's how that looks:

In 2025, John Edgley (@NetworkRail’s chief engineer of infrastructure and asset strategy) stood up and showed that graph to a conference of engineers. He said the following words, and they should be seen as a stark warning:

Here's what the combination of a low-floored train fitted with gap fillers and platform/track set (very roughly!) to the GB standard position looks like. Curvature doesn't matter. It isn't perfect, but it's a much better starting point than the status quo 📐

HS2's Old Oak Common station, as currently specified, is capable of terminating around 3tph. It is being built that way as we speak. Redesigning and rebuilding it to cope with even half of the proposed HS2 service will cost more than scrapping Euston.
