Good eh? Actually, Nimbys don't have anything to do with it. Britain's railways were built to a different loading gauge right from the start, Our bridges and tunnels are simply too low to accomodate double-deck trains, although the SR did have two 4-car d/d units, but their routes were obviously limited. I think the cost of rebuilding our entire network would be unbelievably prohibitive. A shame, but there you go.
