      But Boston already has the T and it's not like Tokyo Metro. (It also felt quite run down when I was on it.)

      Not sure how this contradicts anything I said in prev tweet

      The T is obviously different from Tokyo Metro or it would be nonsensical to talk about making it more like Tokyo Metro

      "If we were building the Tube now we'd probably build it like Crossrail" means there is a convergence in form between urban and suburban rail, but that this wasn't known at the time the former was built. Now that we DO know, we build the latter, & retrofit the former accordingly

      I suspect it's too difficult to retrofit the Tube, and particularly the Paris Métro. Or the T for that matter.

      Even then, it might be appropriate to make the Tube similar to inner suburban commuter rail. It's not appropriate to make the Tube like the trains to Southampton.

      Yes, however if ridership between London and Southampton exploded it would be appropriate to make the trains to Southampton more like Tube. Do you see what I'm getting at here?

      I'd still want a seat. Which I might not care about if only coming from Hammersmith. I wouldn't want to stand for 100 miles.

      Even in a standing-room-prioritizing train, you'll be much more likely to get a seat the earlier along the route you board. So, at a 100 miles out........

      Fine on the way *into* town, not on the way back.

      So (again--assuming you're on a standing-room-prioritizing train) you stand for part of the way and sit down as more people leave.

          Which is less good than passengers on this line have now.

          Which is why I started this hypothetical with "if ridership between London and Southampton exploded"
