I remain unconvinced of the 456's usefulness with SWT though. *The numbers

But surely not all SWT will automatically be 10car ?


I think its right to say all routes will be 10car capable, but this
does not imply all trains all day have to be 10car, there will still
be 8car even 4car trains that won't need 456s.

Of course, all this may result in 6car trains as well ... where a
10car splits into 4 + 6.
