Are these extra cars going to be powered or will they be unpowered trailers
so the 378s will be even slower?

I think they're motored. Class 378s have a 75mph top speed, much more than
modern LU stock, but they seem to accelerate more slowly. With stations
typically 2 mins apart, they rarely get up to speed.

They appear to take a while to brake as well.
