Pretty much the same issue happened in Sydney back in 2018:
https://news.com.au/technology/innovation/nsws-2-billion-new-trains-are-too-wide-to-get-through-tunnels/news-story/47bd2ee36f43cd3cdd2819078feb6011 https://news.com.au/technology/innovation/nsws-2-billion-new...
But they came up with a cheaper solution: revise the safety standards so it's not a problem, and in completely unrelated news, renovate 10 tunnels.
