That's a wee bit earlier than I expected but is a clear sign
that the dreaded "pause" word doesn't seem to affect GOBLIN
electrification.


I thought the bits that had been paused had now been unpaused anyway?


Unpaused, but delayed.

Yes - but originally there were fears they were to be cancelled


I think that was always scare-mongering by people with a political agenda.


I imagine that this was under discussion before, but do they plan to run
5-car trains as on the ELL/NLL?


No, already discussed here recently. It will have 4-car Aventras, hopefully
from 2018. It's not certain if some platform extensions will be needed
even for those, but probably.
