2) 317s return the BedPan Line

According to report from APTU meeting earlier this week, FCC will
utilise 2 x 317 on the AC section of the Thameslink route from next
month's timetable change for an undisclosed period. Four of the 319s
still with Southern will be in use with FCC from the December 2007
timetable change and the remaining 8 from the December 2008 change. No
mention as to whether or not the 319/2s will revert to internal design
before 'transferring' to FCC.

I would of thought they knew already from last year....

Only if they had traction refreshers within the past 6 months would they not need training again.

A mate of mine spotted 319010 in the cleaning sheds at Selhurst on 2nd/3rd May whilst driving by.
