If theres a traction problem you can just swap power cars rather than taking a whole set out of service. E.g. Eurostar power car 3999

Having worked at pancras for the last 6+ years the low level platforms can be terrible at times

The smaller one is for the 700s. They're at all the core stations and are for when there is too much of a gap even with the humps that passengers aren't comfortable. Had to use them a few times at STP
