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?
