Incidentally, I note an interim stage in plans for Waterloo to be
increasing platform lengths to 10. With most trains in units of 4,
this isn't going to make much difference.


If it is 10 23m coach-lengths, that'd fit a double IC Desiro, surely?


For some reason though platform lengths are normally described in terms of
20m car lengths, so a 10.444 needs a '12 car platform'...
