Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere..
I took an ill-advised leisure trundle up from Brighton to London on the 'basket-case' line this afternoon. ( Having travelled up for work on Friday I should have known better. )
When we made it East Croydon I was surprised to see that the next train to London Victoria - 1441 (Delayed) - was advertised as 16 cars with a message to passengers for Clapham Junction to travel in the front 12 due to short platforms.
Is 16-car working actually happening now? Would this constrain where it could have gone at at Victoria? I know that the GTR industrial relations debacle means that there's lots of stock out of place but even so I'm guessing that it's maybe more likely a data entry error(?)
( A 4-car ex Reigate (re)materialized so I took that instead and never saw if the train ran. )
