The pair appeared to manage without causing too many (if any) ructions last week; however, 5T20 is just 390 055 tonight.
I agree with the ideas of too long trains and few stations capable of holding the whole train, but also, there are other factors like:
-A really slow acceleration due to a heavier train
-Also a long stopping distance, unless maybe all brakes of both units are applied.
-Signal blocks are occupied by more of a train at one time, which is the case with freight anyway, but also some signal blocks will end up being short enough for an 18 car train to occupy two at once, one block being fully occupied, which is most likely in a built up station are like a terminus.
- But a bigger issue in my eyes is to do with seat reservations, especially at a terminus. People have to walk a very long distance to where they need to sit, and this is worse considering you can't walk through the whole train, only each unit, so in a rush for the front when you're at the back will cause problems.
I keep saying Llandudno, I mean Bangor. Always make that mistake :L
I reckon substations will be going boom as it passes :roll:
Power problems when a single Eurostar set used to pass.
Both are implausible though... Edinburgh/Glasgow - Liverpool would surely be more likely.
Glasgow Trains have most of that covered, nothing a change at Carlisle can't solve. I'm hoping for a new route after Warrington however, something like Chester and if we're very lucky, down to Cardiff and that may prove popular.
