12 car trains now running on southeastern metro?

[SF-02]

On southeastern's page this morning it says that the 12 car 4:09am from Gillingham to Charing Cross will be 8 instead of 12 coaches. This goes via Bexley & Mottingham.

Has 12 coach running begun then, except for when they don't have enough stock? I recall hearing that the Sevenoaks line may start in September, and others in January but no word lately. I'm guessing the Greenwich line isn't ready yet. Probably only put them on semi fasts when it is so Woolwich Dockyard won't be a problem. Bexleyheath line looking ready?

EDIT : Gillingham isn't metro is it? Title should be 12 car on Gillingham route.

Do Networkers have any SDO capability? I doubt that Woolwich Dockyard will be lengthened as it is so constricted but other stations served by stopping services have been.

Gillingham isnt in the metro area as such but the routes from charing cross are metro so its a bit confusing in that sense. Ive not long left and they were pushing for it but whethwr its been implemented yet I dont know. The only sdo thwy have is that you can disable the front or rear coach of a formation but thats it, no gps etc.

SF-02 may not realise he can change his original title if desired, using 'advanced mode'.
