FCC operates a regular interval servcie.

All the core pattern has the same terminal time at Bedford or Brighton
or Luton be they booked 8car or 4car.

As for train prep diagram thats a complete ******** reason since the
current emergency timetable has special diagrams. If someone
diagrammed them for 4car then thats even bigger ********.


*Are* they actually running 4-cars? I've been rush-hour commuting
mostly on FCC-TL throughout the dispute, and haven't encountered any.

(if they're still running the one evening 317 out of Moorgate[*],
then I can pretty much see why that one might run as 4-car...)
