Still, at least looking at pictures of the trains someone had enough
sense to specify 3 sets of doors per carraige, unlike the dorks who
specified the 378s on the Overground.


They followed the design of the 376s of course, though they were 5-car
from the start.

The point was that no-one foresaw how busy London Overground would
become.


Well they should have done really. A short cut from north london to canary
wharf (almost) and south of the river via the up and coming areas of
Hoxton and Shoreditch I would have thought would be a dead cert for
packed trains.


You have obviously missed your vocation as a seer.
