Mr. Jim Meade:

It certainly could happen. The initial part of the whole DART+ programme is to build extra capacity through electrification because electric trains can accelerate and brake faster and they are more reliable. We can, therefore, achieve more capacity that way. Ultimately, when we think of the long-term future, we have to be thinking about four-tracking and indeed more tracking.
