North London Line goes 4-car in early 2011

Which coaches were short enough that 4 of them would fit in here - class 501 perhaps?? The 501s were also three-car sets. There were, of course, the 2-car 2-EPBs (class 416) in the interim - I don't remember any booked four car formations BICBW. |

As a number of NLL platforms had been shortened some years previously to leave only enough sound structure for 3x57ft 501s and some of those ex-platform areas had new structures within them there would have been difficulty in using 2x2EPBs at many stations. |

It peed down for most of the evening and it required a mega-move after the gig, by coach back to Reading, up to Harrogate for a few hours kip (aquaplaning up the M1) and then across to York for my god-daughter's christening the following morning. Then back down south that night. |
