There to help spread the load down the longer train when there was a mix of 4 and 5 cars. Not necessary when all trains on the line are 5 car. On trains with walk through carriages I'd have thought this would happen fairly automatically, part of the design ethos wasn't it? It helped reduce boarding times at busy stations. More doors to use, particularly helpful at the East London line stations where the platforms are very narrow.

Yesterday Lorol converted the final 4-car North London Line Class 378 into a 5-car train as part of the LOCIP project.

Have London Overground forgotten about the Lea Valley lines and the Romford - Upminster branch...? They probably think the Lea Valley lines are run by diesel trains, cuz they're so "old"

Have London Overground forgotten about the Lea Valley lines and the Romford - Upminster branch...? To be fair those lines are not part of the 5 car project and are a later add on to the "overground" concept. Not easy to make all those distinctions in a 140 character tweet.
