Blackfriars to Kentish Town - FCC or SE?

[dcmbarton]

I travelled today on the 1234 service from Blackfriars to St. Pancras; not sure where it had come from, but it was heading for Kentish Town. The headcode and journey planner both list this is as SouthEastern service, but I'm sure when I was on the platform and the train it was a First Capital Connect...am I imagining this, or is something wrong somewhere? Also, does anyone know what class of trains run on this service?

Sounds like it was the Sevenoaks to Kentish Town service which is jointly operated by South Eastern and FCC using 319 units.

That makes sense, so not me going totally mad...!

A deal was struck to run joint through services while the bay platforms at London Blackfriars are out of action. The majority of services were Sevenoaks services, operated by 465s.

The vast majority of them are Sevenoaks to Kentish town as mentioned, but there are a few that continue to stations such as Luton and St Albans, and even a few peak Bedford.services. The majority are 319s, but on a Sevenoaks to Bedford service recently it was a 377.

I believe there are still a few peak trains that start at City Thameslink, which I believe us 375s.
