I thought they were planning for 6-car trains in the mid-term future.
I suppose they just want to get the damn thing open now though...

They were, but London Overground seem to have settled on running an
all 4 car network for the foreseeable future. On the ELL extension
only Shoredtich High Street is being built with 8 car platforms - even
Dalston Junction, which will be stuck in the basement of new high rise
flats, is being built with 4 car bay platforms (not sure about the
through platforms).

They've left space at the north end of Shepherd's Bush for the
platforms to be extended to 8 car, though the most likely user would
be Southern.
