Still a step in the right direction, and great that we are finally scrapping the old diesel trains!
I bet it’s called the Hindenberg on the quiet, by those working on it.
I thought everything up there was powered by Irn-Bru?
I just think this is only something that could work on a small scale. Why not just make hydrogen power stations and generate electricity and run everything off that?
What happened to electric trains that run off a cable? I thought that was pretty much the gold standard for ‘green’ train travel, because you don’t need a heavy generator or fuel source on the train.

>It is being powered by green hydrogen produced at Bo’ness by extracting the fuel source from water using electricity.
but wait! according to [this](https://fullfact.org/environment/scotland-renewable-energy/) we have 13% of our energy mix from fossil fuels!
So its greenish blue hydrogen.
