Southern Metro platform extensions (was TfL grant LOROL 2 year extension)

SDO is normally used to allow one set of doors to be off the platform,
not an entire coach at each end.
SDO is presently used at Bletchley for 4 cars (a whole unit) off the end of
the 8 car platform on a number of trains. The platform is being extended,
but it has been used in that manner for well over 2 years.
I've also seen SDO 4 in use of 12 when (because of a points failure) a 12
car set departed Bletchley P6.
Why not? It of course helps if your units are gangwayed as LM's are and
all should be, IMO.
