I don’t think you would need to change to get to Curzon St, there would be direct service from Manc; it’s more the time it takes to interchange between Curzon St and New St that’s the issue

Securing a platform feels like an insurmountable hurdle for most stations. Is it worth checking out places where efficient on-the-move security and border checks are done? Or is that an oxymoron

That makes more sense; I reckon you still need a lot of buffering to be able to match the gen to the demand so a fair amount of battery storage but seems theoretically possible!

I'm more impressed with TfL's rapid chargers (450kWh), I think these in conjunction with BEVs are the way to go.

However, getting the infrastructure right is still challenging, as many operators have found out.
