The amazing thing is that, rather than being shown to be a disaster on
the first day, it was considered successful and attempted twice.

You have to remember the Standard stock to understand some of this. They
had a lot of lost space due to traction equipment. The M-T-M+T-T-T+M-T-M
formation gave a good concentration of extra seats in the middle of the
train I expect.
