I suppose it will depend on how many metro services run via Elephant
and Castle, as this is the route which will retain the short platforms

The plan is to send as many London Bridge services as possible via
Thameslink, so there's likely to be only 6 tph via Elephant, as
proposed by the South London RUS. 6x 8 carriages (48) for the inner
stations is no improvement on today, and also means 10x 12 carriages
(120) on the outer services, which is probably an overprovision, and
more than there'll be fast paths for on the MML.
