Won't happen; they're going off lease from Northern.

Their engineering teams were more used to them. The Allerton team were obviously new to them and on top of that, they had some traction work done before entering service up here (which is proving horribly unreliable) so even though Northern employed a senior Thameslink engineer to come and oversee the maintenance of the 319s, he's unable to do much more either due to the differences.
