Perhaps they should tell Northern to keep 319372/73 for say five years FOC as compensation.

319373 would have to be made PRM compliant first

I would hazard a guess just by reading the above posts that there are issues with these 2 units.

Could I ask please what they are as I have not read anything about any problems with them.

There will be service cuts making the Thameslink farce look a glorious success if the PRM deadline isn't pushed back.

When Allerton was resignalled the depot arrival and departure lines were supposed to become reversible with a route down the up fast through Liverpool South Parkway, but this is not reflected in the sectional appendix. The crossover north of the station is very shiny so presumably did happen - has anyone seen a train come out via the arrival line?

24 of the 26 Class 319/3 were transferred to Northern these being 319361-71/74-86. 319372/3/446 are on loan from the ROSCO (Porterbrook) to cover for the non arrival of the Class 769s. 319372 is PRM modified but 319373 is not.

156420 and 156461 have just departed St Helens Central on a Wigan stopper. Announcements was claiming it's a 2 Car Service

It had previously been a 2 car but coupled at Lime St to make the 2 x 156s you saw on the 0915 ex Lime St.

Ex-ATN 156 currently working 1702 Chester to Manchester with new seat cushions and covers - first one I've seen in a 'refurbished' state. It also has WiFi but the seat backs haven't been touched and neither has the lighting.
