RE: Northern Rail
The Wigan - Liverpool service is normally operated by Class 319's , there outbased at various locations on the electric network but there depot is Allerton where this incident happened .

Depending on other unrelated problems with the units they maybe considerably down on units needing diesel services to take up the strain , if diesels are used some other services elsewhere are either going to be cancelled or shortformed .

The 319's are four coach sets so a replacement with any diesel unit could be classed as short formed unless they are running in multiple why may incur a PTE financial penalty.
