I read in a magazine that Overground trains on the Euston-Watford service
won't be able to be extended to 5 cars until power supply upgrades have
taken place. I don't understand why power supply upgrades are is needed.
This route used to be served by 7 car Bakerloo Line trains.


Guessing but perhaps "used to" are the operative words in that sentence,
i.e. the power supply kit / arrangements on the line have changed since
1982.
