How about one DMU in one direction and an EMU in the other for the off peak?

I really cannot see the point in removing the Class 319s from that one particular route when they have had failures on all of the routes they are currently deployed on

That wouldn't work because of how unit diagramming works - and there's very little point having a (smaller) diesel multiple unit sat idle for most of the day and only used in the peak hours when it could be used to strengthen services on other routes that aren't electrified at the moment
