It won't be 195s as they are diesel multiple units, not multi-mode multiple units. Numbering of any new trains will likely be in the 7xxs, whoever manufactures them.
Can anyone throw any light on 319-timed test runs between Liverpool and Crewe today?
;
There appears to have been a seperate 730 run.
Sorry I was looking for STP but actually they are WTT starting this week. I must say I hadn't realised the Crewe-Manchester service already involved ECS working between Allerton and Crewe - it surely involves huge expense maintaining route knowledge
From December the morning Liverpool-Ellesmere Port starts at Helsby.
From December all Class 319 units are to be withdrawn.
In a swap round of units
NL receives 9 x 331/0 from AN
AN receives 12 x 331/1 from NL
AN receives 3 x 323 from SI
WGN-MCV peaK hour servIce goes over to DMU.

I knew about the Allerton & Neville Hill ones but where or what is SI?
