Here is my hometown!! Yes they are pretty long, typically 20 carriages, and each carriage can accommodate 120 people with seats and many more standing in the corridor. So it takes long time to speed up to peak and slow down to stop. That's why I was wandering how trains in UK can stop in just a few seconds when I first came here haha, anyway there are only 6 or 7 carriages.
