unverified the drawing is indicative: no dimensioned drawing of a Class 380 has been published, so its doors, windows, heights, bogie positions and livery are estimated from photographs; only the car lengths and the bogie's wheelbase and wheels are published, the drawing's cab ends and pantograph position: estimated, to about 0.5 m
