They could still play a short term role .

Northern's Journey Check is showing 2 diesel diagrams as short formed and one diesel peak time extra as cancelled so they really don't have DMUs available to fill in for 319s.

Are there a few 319's out of action at present? It would be ironic if that was the case ad this is the first week that all were supposed to be in service.
