Are you sure about 'equally'? I've always found it far easier to get
on the NCL at Finsbury Park at 0830 than, say, the Northern Line at
Kentish Town at the same time. The full-size trains seems to have a
significantly larger passenger capacity (which would be further
increased if the 2x3 seating were replaced with 2x2 wide-aisle, as in
SWT's 455s).


Perception is a wonderful thing. The FCC 313s have a seated capacity
of 232 per three car unit, with probably around 310 including standing
passengers at 33% PIXC (Passengers In eXcess of Capacity).

According to the TfL site, the 95 stock has a seated capacity of 268 per
six car train (including tip-up and 'perch' seats), with a total
capacity of 914.
