5x20m is an unusual length, wonder why they don't go to a more standard
4/8/12?
Because Southern don't stick to a standard 4/8/12? They have 3 car units
which are run in all sorts of combinations, including 3 + 4 at least once
recently, I gather. The fact that Selhurst will have 3, 4 and 5 car units in
future is being catered for, I gather.
