In the short time they have been looking after them, the staff at Allerton have worked wonders with the reliability of the 156's, no doubt they will do the same with the 319's.

SD.

Most definitely in the case of the 156 fleet! NH left them in an awful condition. I still hear of daily cancellations for 319's. For such a small fleet I still think it is something to do with the units themselves. LM have had to release an official apology to passengers because of the 319's letting themselves down.
