*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)


Which they are not! According to Crossrail's information pack, they are made
up of ten 20m cars.
