People in SWT's area managed with 4 cars of 8 (or even 12), or 5 cars of 10, over about a ten year period between the stock being introduced until the full carriage level ASDO was fitted last year.
I don't recall passcomms every journey, or any journey come to that. Perhaps most real passengers can actually cope with the situation, as long as there are suitable announcements onboard and information displays at stations?
TBF SWT's area has been using trains in multiple and boarding and alighting from specific parts of the train for decades. They did it with the slammers.
Same as with Southern and SouthEastern
