*10* car units? What happened to 12?

I suppose it depends on the length of the carriages?

Trains used to be 20m, now newer trains are about 4m longer. 5*4=20m, so the
extra space in each carraige makes up for the loss of a car per unit - and
therefore 2 cars per train. (Assuming the new trains are made up of 24m
cars)
