Freight Electrification for North Scrapped

I really do not think hydrogen trains can provide the power density for hauling freight. A true expert may be able to correct me if I am wrong.

Find an interesting article:

https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/hydrogen-powered-trains/51960/

The source is an IP law firm trying to create some noise not an engineering company and not rail industry.
My "understanding"*cough* is that latest rail detailed industry assessments will show it isn't useful for anything more than 75mph and limited range DMUs and not suitable for 140kmh or 800km.

Felixstowes aren't that heavy. The at least 2 container wagons for hydrogen storage (on length limited services e.g. 375m) would eliminate the FOCs profit margin and make running round and shunting at either a complete pig

Could the water emmissions not be captured and used to fill the toilet tank on trains that have toilets?
