Is it something to do with driver training?

I have read on another forum that the wires are being energised on 6th May which only gives a fortnight for training with electric traction.

The Preston - Blackpool North is signed by a fair few depots that already sign 319s.
Blackpool North depot - a fair few are trained on 319 units
Manchester Victoria depot - more than a fair few sign 319 units
Wigan Wallgate depot - all crew should sign 319 units
Liverpool Lime Street - all crew should sign 319 units
Leeds City depot - no crew will sign 319 units however they exclusively work the sprinter operated Calder Valley services.
So in short, I don't think crew that crew training will be an issue for electric units working the line

It'll probably need route training as well, with the new layout and signalling on the route

319431 returned to Allerton from Wolverton today. This was the one that caught fire in the toilet cubicle.
RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North) - jtd508110 - 27/04/2018 16:15
It wasn't in the toilet that the fire started on 431, I believe that it was the fuse cupboard which is adjacent to the universal toilet
