Are hydrogen trains the way forward?

Last year a hydrogen-powered train travelled on Britain’s rail network with the aim to start carrying passengers by the end of 2021. What are your thoughts on hydrogen technology, key considerations, or risks? Comment below to share your thoughts!

    One thing to keep in mind in case of hydrogen fuel cell engine that it gets heated so in case of countries with cold climate hydrogen trains are good but if we consider hot climate regions i.e. countries near equator then it may cause heating problem in engine and gets explode and also the availability of hydrogen should be consistent and storage should be of lower cost for feasibility in greater extent
