Well, there was mooting that if demand continues to rise then we might

In a different presentation on ELL , 5car 378s are not permanently
ruled out, even on the ELL itself.


Cue stage left uk.r protests *...


... anyway the 2 people giving the presentation were the top projects
bods from LU and NR and 5car with SDO is a possibility.


That at least implies that the manufacturing components needed to
build more Class 378 bodyshells haven't been reconfigured, which is
good news if a whole new set of units needs to be built.


I would hope that the class 378 manufacturing equipment is still
available, as there are still three units (255-257) to be delivered,
for the ELL extension to Clapham Junction.
