Default FCC Stitching Customers Up?

My GF gets the FCC every day, and it seems that the service is even more shocking this week then usual (somehow), marred with constant techincal failures and delays.

I wonder if they have moved all the newer style carriages and are pooling them in anticipation for the new 13-car trains they are putting into operation in December- meaning that the trains left in service are all the 'broken parts' of all the old trains??

Which line? There are no 13 car trains on FCC nor any plans for them.


Are there any plans for 13 car trains *anywhere* on the network?

Could you make them up from combinations of class 377 units?

Is it technically feasible 3+3+3+4?


I guess Southeastern could replace a 3x375/[6|7|8|9] with a 4x375/3,
but I never saw it happen. Can Electrostars multiple more than three
units together?

Don't Southern run some 12-car trains as 4 x 3-car?

The Thameslink route will be 12-cars long - they've been extending
platforms over the last couple of years, and the extensions are
largely complete, such as at West Hampstead, Mill Hill etc. Kentish
Town and Hendon however is not being extended as far as I can tell.
Southeastern have had 12 car platforms for years. c2c are also
extending their platforms to 12-cars.

Aren't Southern (and FCC) Class 377s all four-cars long? 3 x 4 = 12
