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

No, Southern have a fair number of 3 car 377s, and they'll be used in the
next timetable to allow more 10 car services, 3+3+4.

I'm pretty sure the original 13 car question was just a typo though, however
the idea that trains were being removed from service now in order to make
longer trains later seems to betray a lack of understanding of what is meant
by 12 car services...

FCC are going to be sub-hired from SN (on weekdays only for 2 years or more)
3 x 4 car units to run as one 12 car in 4+4+4 formation. *These will
displace two existing 377/5s to run as third cars on a couple of other 8 car
trains, in 4+4+4 formation. *Organising this is an overnight job - it will
have no bearing whatsoever on today's problems.

Ah, I see, forgot about those. Thanks!
