I could never understand why they didn't order four-car units for the
North
London line from the outset. You only have to look at the loadings on the
313s to see that additional capacity was desperately needed.

How much platform lengthening will be needed? In most cases it will merely
involve reopening sections of platfrom which have been out of use for years,
but lengthening Willesden Junction high level looks as though it will be
expensive.
