Crossrail Rolling Stock

In message , at 12:24:31
on Wed, 25 Nov 2015, remarked:
the existing Shenfield trains use 16,17,18. When Crossrail
opens they will go through the centre (i.e. the new Liverpool
Street Crossrail platforms) except for some in the peak that will
go into the existing Liverpool Street using platforms 16 and 17
- 18 will have been lost to make 16 and 17 long enough.

Yes, so a platform has been lost. And this is when TfL will at some
point want to increase the frequency of the Overground running to
LS.

A platform which Overground trains could not get to without
destroying the capacity of the station throat.

I think he was suggesting that the tracks into the platforms all be
budged over one, rather than that trains from the westernmost track
use the easternmost platform. I have no idea how easy it would be to
do that.

Aren't 9 and 10 the only ones that can take the Norwich trains?

No. All are long enough except 16,17,18. In terms of track layout
(getting to and from the fast lines), all of 5-14 seem to be possible,
and I have seen all of 8-12 myself over the years.

I thought 9 and 10 were longer than the rest. Or did that go in the
rebuilding? I usually do see Norwich loco and DVT trains there.

According to this map they are all the same length, apart fro 17 & 18
which are slightly shorter:
