The 319/3's that have had the new toilet fitted have acquired extra seats in the DTS cars, some are in FCC moquette. All the 319/4's in traffic still have the first class seats fitted, but all signage removed.

I suppose there is enough spare units at Long Marston to donate seats.

319421 has arrived at Allerton from Long Marston in full ex London condition with the exception of the 3rd rail shoe gear.

I may be mistaken but I think that 319361-71, 374-380, 382, 383, 386, 424, 431, 448 & 450 are in service which makes 25 (24 if 431 hasn't returned to service after the fire)

That sounds about right. I'm sure I read something about 319431 going to Wolverton for repairs recently

Correct,it has

I see the Timetables for the North West are up now, must be a mistake on the Liverpool - St Helens Central/St Helens Junction one as says Buses finish about half 6 but its Rail Replacement anyway so should not be affected by the strike at all..
