am i sort of right in saying though, that you can't have double decker multiple units because the traction equipment takes up too much space and with MUs being much more popular amoung operators i doubt any double deck coaches would be ordered, even if they were within british loading gauge. notice all new 100mph or over german and french rolling stock is single decker.

I know you'll all shun me for saying this but multiple units are faster, more efficient and better for the track than locomotives and trailer coaches. -and that's another thing; double deck coaches must really rip up the track.
