They are indeed stylish like you say. The purple represents continuity of sorts from Serco & Abellio days. The large n in lower case reminded me of the Network West Midlands logo.

Although the 319s livery is unchanged at present still retaining Northern Electrics branding the PIS both visual and spoken now omits the word Electrics.

Yes and has done for a few week or so.

Sometimes the editing out of the 'Electrics' part is dodgy. Sounds like the announcer has the hiccups at times! Hopefully this will be ironed out over time.

A 319 has failed this morning resulting in the 0731 Wigan - Liverpool being cancelled.

Does anybody know what is going on with 319374 and 319376? I haven't seen either of the, in service for a while now and they are both outside the shed at Allerton.

319376 was involved in the electrocution incident of a worker at the depot about 6 weeks ago,319374 has been out of service since just before Christmas 2015 with a fault which so far hasn't been repaired

319376 will have had to go through some rigorous checks because of the electrocution incident before it will be allowed back into service .

RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North)
So with 2 units out, no wonder they're hard pushed to get all of them into service it seems! Isn't it 16 required out of 20 sets so that leaves 2 for exam/spare?
