Newcastle & CCN line - Short trains at peak hour

Peak hour today in both directions the train turned up with only 6 of the usual 10 cars.

I can't see any notification/announcements, there is no service alert about the 40% reduction in capacity, does anyone here know what is happening? Is this going to be ongoing?

Also I think the capacity maps (green for seats available) need re-calibration. I can assure you there were no seats available as dozens of us stood in the vestibule and down the carriage only to see that pop up on the screen that the carriage has plenty of seats available.
