Yes, used to be quite common on Brighton fast services.
In the days of nationalised British Railways most Brighton fast
services were 12 car trains; and they didn't stop at Clapham
Junction either.
But they weren't 4 x 3-car, which was the question I was answering.
There were mixed 2, 3 and 4 car formations of SR slam-door stock, but
I don't know if it was possible to run more than 3 units coupled in
service ,,,
3 car SR units had disappeared by the time I was a lad.
You're forgetting the 3-COPs.
They came *much* later, long after I left London.
