Default Southern Metro platform extensions (was TfL grant LOROL 2 year extension)

SDO is presently used at Bletchley for 4 cars (a whole unit) off the end of
the 8 car platform on a number of trains. The platform is being extended,
but it has been used in that manner for well over 2 years.

I've also seen SDO 4 in use of 12 when (because of a points failure) a 12
car set departed Bletchley P6.

Why not? It of course helps if your units are gangwayed as LM's are and
all should be, IMO.
