Out of idle curiosity more than any real need to know reason. What sort of conductor material, conductor cross section and insulation will the "extension lead" have. How are terminations at length ends made?

Really like the northern 158s I'm not interested in the LED gimmicks, seat reservations etc, but the unit looks bright and smart. Northern really need to focus on providing basic simple clean smart interiors that can be kept that way. The problem with the 158 will be how long northern can keep...

Faster speeds should be available on prescription lines and commuter services run on them (with modern stock). Particularly those with mainline connections.

Sounds like an air leak at the front to me.
