Northern Rail

RE: Northern Rail
It could be worse though, had this electrification had happened 20 years ago, we would probably have ended up with something like the 308 slam door stock which the Leeds/Bradford - Skipton/Ilkley lines in West Yorkshire got lumped with.

Although the 319's have been refurbished internally, I don't think any other parts of the unit have been refreshed and given their tough life down South, problems like these are more likely to happen.
