Northern haven't fixed any of their 319s yet as the 17:40 Airport-Liverpool has been cancelled.

2 of the 3 that failed 319365+319366 have been fixed.

The question is now whether they be working properly tomorrow. And which unit hasn't been fixed yet?

I suppose it will help the staff at Allerton in keeping in top of overhauls and exams. I notice the past couple of days, they haven't had any major failures. Hopefully a sign of things to come!

I wonder how long this will last. Is the other 319 that's out of traffic long term going to be returning any time soon do you know?

319374 has been sat in the same spot at Allerton for some time, but I noticed yesterday that its pan was up, so it looks like it's in the process of being sorted out.

That's good news after it was on the sideline for a few weeks.

I know this may sound a bit odd running diesel service from Liverpool when the overhead wires up , but wouldn't a limited service from Liverpool to Barrow be an interesting proposition.

Northern or its previous successor FNW did have an afternoon service to Barrow.
