The only new feature AFAICS is that they will probably be calling for 63
x
200m length trains (for 57 diagrams).

I'm wondering if this is a clear indication they are moving towards
'Thameslink style' fixed formation trains, Crossrail were originally
proposing running two 5 x 20m units in multiple, allowing them to run
singly
offpeak...

Thameslink trains can be 4 or 8 cars long. I think you mean "LUL-
style" fixed formations.

No, I really did mean like the [yet to be built] 'Thameslink style fixed
formations', either 8 or 12 car length; but probably 10 car in the Crossrail
case, assuming they don't go for something like the Alstom articulated
design.
