378 move and GOB to be DC?

The space between the seats can be and is used for plenty of standing. And is bloody inconvenient as such, because there is nowhere to stand in C stock where you are not in the way of someone. The OP has a good point - if TfL won't/can't fund longer trains (which is the optimal solution), fewer seats and proper standbacks might actually be better. The main issue with the NLL, GOB and "core" ELL is one of platform length, or lack thereof (though in the case of the GOB route, it's more a lack of *serviceable* platform length, as a few of the stations still retain their full length platforms, albeit with most of the length fenced off). Particular lengthening pinch points include: Camden Road - Crossover and junction between Primrose Hill and "main" NLL at the West end, bridge over the eponymous road at the East end Willesden Junction (High Level) - Bridges over the WCML at the South end, and the DC Lines and City Goods Lines at the North end. Canada Water - Platforms only built long enough for 4 car A60/62 Stock. South Tottenham - Junction with Seven Sisters Curve at the West end, and curve onto West Anglia Main Line at the East end.
