Yes the tender does all for extra middle coaches.
"The manufacturing requirements are for multi-mode multiple units, including options to order further units and/or additional centre-vehicles and/or a mix of multi-mode and electric multiple units."
Although if have number of variations, eg mix of 2 car, 3 car, 4car and some multi mode and others pure EMU then simplification of the fleet doesn't happen much.
You only have to look at the mess GWR services around Bristol got in (and are still in), with schedules requiring a 2car and 3car coupled and vast numbers of workings where single 3 car units get swapped to a 2car (which can't cope).
Also got to be wary of transition period, which might easily be 6-7 years from 2026 -2033 for introduction, with possibly another transition later where some diesel electric are converted to battery electric. Again using GWR as example and Cardiff-Portsmouth where mix of 158 and 16x run which can't couple, can get real problems at outstations like Fratton when unit fails and they can't form up next 3 or 4 trains correctly because of wrong length units or different generation that can't couple together. Basically if your outstations are 2-3 hours away unless have lots of spare units get stuck when late substitutions needed (and Northern has some quite geographically scattered bits too).
