No they're not modified

two 319/0 (319004–319005)

two 319/2 (319218–319219)

eight 319/4 (319424, 319431, 319434, 319442, 319448, 319450, 319456 and 319458)

The class 319 flex will be using MAN D2876 diesel engine according to RAIL magazine ISSUE 819.

I understood that the Flex units were in addition to those already due to come to Northern.

I know. Feel a Dizzy after watching that. Having said though, these have the Base colours for the new Northern livery.

Almost - but the doors are the wrong shade of blue
