It was several months since the Overground introduced 5-car trains but they were still bearing headboards as if it was the first day of operation. This example was seen at Sydenham station on a service to West Croydon. Some stations including Whitechapel and Rotherhithe, located tightly between tunnels, could not be adapted for 5-car trains meaning that the doors in one end car have to remain shut.
