Yes.

My commute must be different to yours then cos I seen single 319s out
every day in both peaks.

And FCC words are ''all trains'' not just peak trains.

It is ******** as they still have attach and detach 4+4 - 8 and 8 -
4+4 diagrams at Luton, this week. In fact one of them *to the best of
my knowledge puts a 4car on what was previously *a permanennt 8car
turn.

FCC are not telling the whole truth in any of this.

(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...)


[*] obviously ECS til Farringdon


No.

The 317 diagram left BedPan lines several weeks ago. The train is now
booked and permanent altered [in the full timetable] as 17:blurr
Elephant & Castle start 2x319 *however* *as an additonal to the
emergency timetable the 18:19 exFarringdon has been used by 2x377
after reversing ECS Moorgate.

I had to use FCC today (from St Pancreas to Crofton Park) and found it
strangely lacking in cancellations, unlike all the announcements I've
been hearing every time I pass London Bridge.

Has something been fixed?
