I wonder if they plan to do a mock up anywhere in town.

While I'm sure I could find this somewhere if I looked myself (*cough*)
are there numbers to hand which would give the capacity of the current 7
car trains (standing and seated) against 7 cars of the new Crossrail
stock, and then the 9 cars of the Crossrail stock?

I'm keen to know how much extra capacity will be unlocked by the move.

(it did pain me a little when I found out the actual number of trains
along the Shenfield line won't significantly increase post Crossrail,
though the lengthening and improving of the rolling stock will make a
decent difference, even if it's only short term before it fills up)
