It wouldn't be a fair comparison. Northern have I think 15 weekday class 323 diagrams with 1 x 323 out for service for the forseeable future for retractioning, while with 319s they have 20 units and 16 diagrams. That means a 319 found to have a minor fault at the start of the day could more easily be kept out-of-service until it's fixed than a 323 with a minor fault.
