Perhaps I'm just being sentimental, but I do think that any sort of MU would not work for long distance trains up the ECML because the lengths of trains vary at different times of year and from year to year, so if the capacity had to be increased then they would have to couple two of the 8-car jobs together, which would not only make them too long for the platform, but would make an uncrossable break in the middle of the train.

But maybe I'm wrong. How do you respond?
