I can imagine that if NXEA got a 378 style layout they'd
never run a 8 car train on the Chingford line again. It would be cram
them in Japanese style on the Chingford line (as they do today when
they "forget" to stick the extra 4 carriages on for the peak) but on a
permanent basis.


My reply to Tom crossed unfortunately, but the mention of a '378 layout'
is associated with 9 car trains as well...

IIRC before the 315s came along Chingford (and Enfield Town) did have 9
coach trains. And before the Victoria Line came to relieve the load,
Chingford's peak service was 9 tph.
