Still, its quite wide, though with the low floors the doors curve in at
the bottom and I don't reckon that'll be a comfortable place to stand in
crush conditions.


It can be wider as the carriages are shorter.


I doubt even carraiges that short could be that wide on NR though its
a pity NR don't get over their aversion to articulated vehicles so the
sections could be shorter and hence wider and we could have true 3+2 seating
instead of 2+2 plus an extra seat for anorexics or dwarves.
