There is engineering work on both lines every Sunday right through Fevruary. I presume Network Rail are trying ro gets things completed. My guess would now be sometime in March.

Latest reports state that 20 Class 319 are to come to Northern Rail. Reports indicate that these are 319361-69/71/72/74/77-80/82/83/86 plus one other.
Of the above 319362 -65 are refurbished and at Allerton Depot, whilst 319361/68/72/79/80/82 are at Wolverton Works under/awaiting refurbishment.

I believe 319365 was used on the Driver Training runs yesterday, the first time this one has been out I think.

Has 319 training for Lime Street drivers been completed yet?

Not quite yet, my estimate is that we are just over half way.

319362 was out on the Driver Training trips today.

319362 was also out yesterday and today.

Two more units arrived at Allerton tonight. A refurbished 319361 and an unrefurbished 319379.

SD.

So which units are here so far?

319361-5 plus 379.

319361-5 are refurbished.

There is a list in the current Rail Express that is slightly different to the one posted by CB. It shows the following units heading for Northern: 319361/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/71/2/4/5/6/7/8/9/80/2/6.

Is 319379 here as one of the two required for driver training for Victoria and Wallgate staff?
