Hello all,
I don't know if there's anyone who has diagrams for the FCC 365s/317s/321s, or if any locals have an idea of formations, but if anyone can answer the following questions please, even if it is just one, then it will be appreciated!
It's for a 2012 Weekday Timetable I'm doing for for King's Cross SimSig:
1. The class 365s I believe are usually paired unless it's one to Kings Lynn. I know some split at Cambridge, but a couple in the early morning have a 1 or 2 minute stop at Cambridge so I assume it's solo throughout for these.
Is there many trio sets though? I have seen a trio on YouTube, but I don't know if these would ever run to/from Peterborough?
At a guess I'd say trios are on the Kings Lynn, with 1 set breaking off at Cambridge leaving 2 behind, but I doubt these ever do the stopper service (2Cxx headcode) services?
2. Are 317s normally paired? I know they don't have a lot so I guess there is some solo ones about?
3. As for Class 313s, I assume a majority of these are double sets? I'd imagine just a few 3 car 313 sets wouldn't cope in the peak hour!
4. Does anyone know what the Class 321s do? Are these out all day or do they just work some peak services?
5. I seem to recall seeing it once, but I can't remember 100%, but can a 12 car set fit in Platforms 9-11 at Kings Cross, or do these need to use 1-8?
6. Finally, I know there is (or used to be) a hot spare Class 317 dumped on platform 8 on Saturdays, does this apply on weekdays too?
Again, any help is highly appreciated! I've only ever been on the FCC network on Saturdays on a rail day out, so I don't know what weekdays are like.
Thank you,
James.
