the "Rolling Stock Prequalification Briefing Document" specifies a

So is the plan at the moment to run the extended ELL with 4-car trains
throughout forever? How many of the stations are capable of taking 6- or
8-car trains? Or being converted to do so? Is it just Rotherhithe, Wapping
and Surrey Keys that are problematic? Will the new stations be built with
(room for) 8-car platforms? Anyone got any idea? I fear a repeat of the
2-car DLR fiasco.
