The tunnel also would need electrification so it's a wash

That's why CR should convert to EMU before anything else

conversion to EMU cost so much more than just purchasing dual-mode locos?

But improve travel time with better acceleration and drastically reduce track wear

while a purchase of new locos is ~1.2bn and that would be it?

That's a pretty trivial cost difference for a much cheaper-to-run and faster tech

network electrification is ... ~1.5bn (maybe?) + the 1.5~1.6bn for vehicles for EMU service?
