I reckon there could be some debate about the door setup, I don't see
how two sets of double doors in the centre of each carriage provides
25% more doors than a 1/3 - 2/3 set up, unless of course the
carriages are somewhat shorter than 20m...
Yes, as with any articulated train, the carriages will be much shorter
than the equivalent non-articulated version. Think of two sets of
double doors between *each* pair of bogies, rather than alternate
pairs of bogies.
Indeed, if my maths is right, they'll be using 15 x 16m individual vehicles
(average - cos the end cars will be longer and 'crumplier'), in a 240m full
length unit (FLU), 10 in the 160m RLU...
