myself but the trains are standing only at Norwood Junction in the
mornings, and rammed by the time they get to the old ELL.

the trains are walk-though, after all.

That makes it considerably harder to just "stick an extra couple of
carriages on the back" of course. With the equipment shared between
carriages and distributed through modern trains the days of such simple
shunting are long gone.
