RE: Northern Rail
There is engineering work on both lines every Sunday right through Fevruary. I presume Network Rail are trying ro gets things completed. My guess would now be sometime in March.

RE: Northern Rail
Latest reports state that 20 Class 319 are to come to Northern Rail. Reports indicate that these are 319361-69/71/72/74/77-80/82/83/86 plus one other.
Of the above 319362 -65 are refurbished and at Allerton Depot, whilst 319361/68/72/79/80/82 are at Wolverton Works under/awaiting refurbishment.

I believe 319365 was used on the Driver Training runs yesterday, the first time this one has been out I think.

Has 319 training for Lime Street drivers been completed yet?

RE: Northern Rail
Not quite yet, my estimate is that we are just over half way.

Two more units arrived at Allerton tonight. A refurbished 319361 and an unrefurbished 319379.

RE: Northern Rail
So which units are here so far?

[Sprinterdriver]

RE: Northern Rail
319361-5 plus 379.

319361-5 are refurbished.

There is a list in the current Rail Express that is slightly different to the one posted by CB. It shows the following units heading for Northern: 319361/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/71/2/4/5/6/7/8/9/80/2/6.

SD.

RE: Northern Rail
Is 319379 here as one of the two required for driver training for Victoria and Wallgate staff?
