Well, if it becomes packed it might just justify longer trains then


Difficult to have longer trains without a total rebuild of Surrey Quays,
Wapping, and Rotherhithe at least. Which would be on the far too difficult
list unless I'm mistaken. SDO would not be practical in the core part of
the route, so it has been proposed in the past that the deep stations would
close rather than be lengthened.
