I have to say, that whilst i have yet to look at the interiors myself, i do think that removing both one of the luggage racks and the internal sliding door was abit of a retrograde step in these Mk3s. Whilst there may not be as much luggage on this as say the GWML, It does now mean that large luggage will either end up on the seats or blocking the vestibule. Also - Whilst the need for the internal sliding doors might have been reduced by moving them to the corridors, it does now mean that a draught is likely to blow through the wider vestibule area in winter, and additional noise doesn't seem to be reduced by the sound of that video, whereas with the original Mk3 interior doors the amount of noise seem to be somewhat reduced.

Good, but could be much better.
I'd say most likely that the rakes would be extended by converting additional mark 3 vehicles, afterall DB have enough in storage now.

Do you know (and can you disclose if so) if this will be made possible by breaking up one of the other rakes, or by converting additional mark 3 vehicles?
