The 1753 should be 8-car, and the 1823 will be 6-car. If there's any
fault, they'll bring out a 4-car train from Hornsey and that can get a
little crowded - but people are often told that first class is
declassified (and even if they're not toldt, it always is on any 23/53
train).

I queried FCC on exactly this point a month ago, referencing the 1753.
Their reply made it clear that if I used the first class section to my
local station (Oakleigh Park) without paying a first class fare, I
would be liable to a penalty fare. Regrettably, the reply failed to
tell me what the first class fare is (and I did ask).
