Realistically, Crossrail will need "standee trains", perhaps the same
layout as the S stock for LUL.

However, that will depend on if/when they decide on longer distance
trains - once they start on things like Oxford - Ipswich or further
you end up with the same mess of mixed needs that TL suffers from now
and always will suffer from.

Oxford Ipswich or any other destination you can think of might not be
in any known Crossrail plan for the time being, but nor were many of
the current TL destinations when it was conceived, purely as a GLC led
cross London inner suburban route, and certainly not many of the TLP
proposals.
