Just been checking and these Class 319 units are shorter than the Class 156 units , if these electric units cause an upsurge in traffic some flows are going suffer.

Aren't these EMUs going to work Liverpool to Wigan & Manchester?
If only 10 are coming up north as has been mentioned here previously, then there's hardly going to be enough for too much multiple working anyway.
The only 4 cars on these lines at the moment seem to be at peak times, and not too many of them, and 6 cars are unheard of!
4 cars should suffice, particularly as most journeys made now seem to be short, local ones.
However all this obviously depends on the frequency of the new electric services
