Crossrail have already stated that the trains will be twice as long as a
"normal" tube train.


Although they will, inevitably, have to comply with platform lengths on the
overground sections of Network Rail (such as the suburban stations from
Stratford to Shenfield).

Won't they just extend the platforms as necessary? Given the cost of the
project, I'd hate to see them run shorter trains than the system can
take just because existing platforms are too short.
