Turbostar Odd Working

According to Anglia Gen Yahoo group it would appear that the 1100 Norwich to Liverpool St and 1330 return journey was operated by 3 class 170 Turbostars totalling 8 coaches - 170202/203/271. I assume this has something to do with the engineering works taking place today but still a very unusual occurance

    I believe this is as one Intercity set is currently out of services pending investigation over the Witham Fatality on Thursday. 2 class 321 sets were used yesterday instead as well

    The class 170s were also on 16:20 Norwich to London, and the 19:00 London to Norwich,

    Understandable on a weekday, but is the same number of IC sets required on a Saturday?

    11 sets needed Monday to Friday, 10 on Sunday, and 6 on a Sunday.

    I'm surprised only one more set is needed on a weekday than a Saturday. How many sets do they actually have?
