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
