Default North London Line goes 4-car in early 2011

I could never understand why they didn't order four-car units for the North
London line from the outset. You only have to look at the loadings on the
313s to see that additional capacity was desperately needed.

Some of the platforms aren't long enough though, and Network Rail's
timescale for lengthening them is 2010. TfL are presumably quite keen
to get new trains running ASAP, with the switch to longitudinal
seating giving a short term capacity boost.
