The reason for longitudinal seating is to provide more space for standing
passengers.


You mean mobile cattle trucks? I wouldn't want to stand for a long time on
most of the journeys I make on that line.


Don't know what time of day you travel, but I /already/ have to stand
for a long time on most if the journeys I make on that line. And
standing would be a lot easier in Tube-style stock rather than the
stupidly narrow gangways of the 313s...
