Or it might have something to do with the platforms not being long enough.
I don't know about the clapham line but the trains on the ELL were only 4 car
when LU ran it.

It is not a matter of if but when there is a train crash / smash with
massive loss of life on these brand new cattle trains.

You could say the same about any commuter train with open ended carraiges.
I haven't noticed "massive loss of life" on the packed DLR in the last 20
years. Loss of the will to live maybe...
