From a manufacturing point of view it makes no sense to not enter a market where there's both a gap and demand. There not being one (that we know of) in production tells me that operators aren't demanding the same as enthusiasts.
I wonder if the manufacturers are trying to meet the financial requirements of the operator - whilst being unable to meet the performance needs?
Technology will possibly find a middle ground...
According to reports, the b5 has struggled to keep to timetable in both Edinburgh and on Tyneside - however affordable it may be.
