Have 319 366 and 319 379 entered service yet as I haven't seen them on the Wigan line?
As of yesterday they hadn't.

With TPE all bids apparently were good enough and First are rumoured to be favourites.
You should tread carefully here , in particular with the TPX bids as both First and stagecoach are listed companies and any leaking of information whether it comes from rumours or not can be commercially damaging.
In his defence they are all over the internet and may not be true for all we know...

Thanks SD. They may be being held back for the timetable change when the Warrington Bank Quay service becomes electric.

Indeed. There are already on forums and sites which get a lot more views than this one. The Govia claim has even been posted by Modern Railways writer Tony Miles under his real name so he must be confident about that.

Thanks for the confirmation jtd508110. It has seemed a while since they were reported at Allerton, hence my query, so again thanks.
No problem! Still no sign of 366 though.
It wasn't in the spot it has been for some time when I went passed Allerton earlier tonight, so maybe it will be out shortly?
