Most are only long enough for four cars, I think.
The 6 cars on some of the Blackpool services are also affected with the conductor telling passengers in the rear two coaches to move forward to alight at certain stations. This does not exactly help performance on these lines

Numerous stations are supposed to get platform lengthening. Long term the plan is 6 car 331s on Skipton-Bradford services, 4 car 331s on Glossop, Stoke and Crewe services and 6 car 323s on Liverpool-Manchester via Chat Moss services. Not sure if Liverpool-Blackpool is supposed to end up 323 or 331.
