Shock horror, the website isn't correct. As an example on weekdays between 1600 and 1900 from Victoria only 2 services (1620 London Bridge and 1836 West Croydon) on those routes are 10 cars - hardly sounds like the busier times (but then that term could be seen as subjective). Its almost entirely 8-cars, with one 10-car circuit.

Personally from what my source say it’s a fixed at 8/10 all day but the 10 are diagrammed/positioned in the right places for the morning and evenings peaks.
Cannot see where they have the units to do 8 off peak and 10 peaks.
(Think I already said this in a past post).

Easier for SN to say what they’ve put in the website then going into all the technical stuff of positioning of the 10 cars for the peak.

Both those circuits are booked 8 cars. The 10 car circuit is booked a pair of 377/7s and starts and ends at Selhurst.

Yes it is fixed 8 cars all day, with one 10 car circuit in that. Plus that 10 car in the morning Andy1673 mentioned.

While the two extra trains via Peckham Rye are very welcome and much needed in the peak - midweek mornings have been terrible since the 455s were withdrawn - there trains are only going from 5 cars to 6 not from 4 to 6 as the website claims so I’m not sure how accurate that 60% claim is? Also aren’t the three car units lower density (all around tables where as there are lots of airline seats in the newer 5 car units - sorry just a passenger and not up to speed with the sub-class designations) so would be curious how many additional seats there will actually be?

They may have slightly fewer seats per coach but they will also accommodate slightly more standing passengers.

377/6 has 300 seats
2x377/3 has 352 seats
