Southern Metro platform extensions (was TfL grant LOROL 2 year extension)

I can't say I agree with you on that from my own recent observations. Maybe we get the dross on the MK-Clapham runs, then. Most times I use one I am disappointed by the condition (and dull, dour atmosphere) of the unit, and more than once also with the poor quality of the staff, who not infrequently seem to have the London bus driver approach to customer relations (i.e. communicate only in grunts, if they bother doing tickets at all). The Wessies on GatEx, for all I like them as what the Mk3 hauled coach should have been, are also filthy. They shouldn't have done a refurb without cleaning the muck off the lighting/ventilation conduit, it just looks bad. Southern have 170 Electrostar carriages in 5-car trains on order for their own use, plus 116 for DfT. 5x20m is an unusual length, wonder why they don't go to a more standard 4/8/12?
