The work includes platform lengthening to accommodate new air-
conditioned trains. They are in service on the East London line and
London Overground, and will start running on the Metropolitan line in
weeks.

=========

Does this last mean the new ELL cattle trains are coming to all Met.
and H&C lines? Being longer will they fit at all stations? Its easy
enough to lengthen Paddington H&C platforms, but what about the
underground stations like Edgeware Road etc? And what about
lengthening the stations between Hammersmith and Paddington H&C.?


Seven-car trains aren't scheduled to start appearing on the H&C until
next year.
