Looking Through A Five Car Class 378 Train

I finally got a picture this morning of the view through a five car Class 378 train.

Looking Through A Five Car Class 378 Train

There’s certainly a lot of London Overground’s signature colour.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

If Transport for London had known that the Overground would be such a success, I suspect they’d have ordered five car trains and the lengthened the platforms before the line opened.

At least though Bombardier designed the trains so they could be broken in half and extra carriages could be inserted in the middle.

I wonder if in a few years time, we’ll see another lengthening of trains and platforms. Some documents from TfL say that six cars is a possibility.
