The overcrowding is probably the worst thing; it's actually been too
successful.

Yes, the trains urgently need those fifth cars. It's amazing that
three-car 313s were regarded as adequate not so long ago.

Adequate?

I take the point about the current services being very busy but they

Ouch, yes I'd forgotten how crowded the 313s had become towards the
