Thameslink and Crossrail are both heavy rail routes going through London and share many common features. Both will help reduce overcrowding on London Underground by moving large numbers of people and rebuilding some Underground and National Rail stations (including Blackfriars and Farringdon). Both will need to place large orders of around 1,300 carriages to meet their rolling stock requirements. The specification for the trains includes Automatic Train Operation (ATO) as well as ability to have 1,000 people board or alight the train in as little as 45 seconds. Both the Crossrail and FCC units will feature 25 kV AC overhead power, and the FCC units will also use 750V DC third rail equipment for use in South London. The Crossrail require the train to be able to work with Platform Edge Doors
