319s will not be replacing 323s on Crewe/Alderley Edge/Stoke/Macclesfield services. The new 331s will replace the 323s on those routes in 2018 - all 17 x 323s will remain with Northern until the end of 2018. Some 319s will be used temporarily on Glossop services but not before the North TPE recast has occurred due to pathing issues with slower accelerating 319s.
