Seems like TfL have exercised all their options for Class 378s with
another 7 ordered.

I notice that these trains will have "state-of-the-art heating and
air-conditioning systems, look and feel of Tube trains and be
walk-through, without doors between carriages", which sounds just like
the new S Stock trains. Are there any other similarities? I know these
trains are shorter (4 vs 7/8 carriages), but they sound quite similar in
other respects, including where they're being built.
