Customer Update
Northbound TL route services will be 4 cars instead of 8 cars betwen 1800 and 1836
First Capital Connect apologises that northbound trains leaving St Pancras between 1800 &1836 will be formed of 4 cars instead of 8. A normal service will operate as advertised from 1846 from St Pancras. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.

Does anyone know the reason to this?

Could it be that they are too interested in have nice shiney FCC livery on their units rather than actually using them? First have a track record for crap service, so it all falls in line really.

probably their vigorous debranding process

All of their units are debranded. Apart from the 319/0s which of course are Southerns units.

Seeing as there would probably only 3/4 trains in the time scale, debranding or refurbishing wouldn't be the issue IMO. Of course it could well be.
