Er, Why 10-cars? Designing the in-tunnel stations for anything less
than 12 cars would be madness. I could understand leaving the
out-tunnel stations at eight cars (as present on the suburban GE) to
save money and get the project off the ground, or extend to 12 cars,
but 10? This requires almost as much work for half the benefit!

This reminded me of the trains I saw on the Paris Metro; the ones with
the full width intercar links.. would they make better use of
available space.

Only if people "passed right down inside the car", as the saying goes.
