longer trains idea been abandoned?


I think the original plan for the NLL upgrade was 6 cars. There aren't
many platforms longer than 3 or 4 cars, and by 2012 the Overground
fleet will be 4 cars per unit, so 6 cars won't be an option (unless
they get the 313s back for the extra services).


Will they have given all the 313s up by 2012?
