[edit] Questions that need answers asap:
Will the new trains tilt?
Will the new trains have engines under floor, or be loco hauled (or in other words: be comfortable, or not!)?

- Tilting doesn’t seem to be planned at the moment. It isn’t specified whether they have under-floor engines or separate locomotives, so theoretically it’s up to the manufacturers to propose whatever arrangement they think most appropriate. Reading between the lines, however, the various demands for being able to re-arrange the carriages at will seem to favour having a locomotive at each end just as with the InterCity 125.

- Yes, but if they want to be able to split and join units/hybrid units, then having MU might be preferable for them (hope not).

- The specification seems to consider re-arranging trains more important than splitting and joining. David Arthur (talk) 17:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
