319363 left Allerton yesterday for overhaul at Wolverton Works. 319362 arrived at Allerton this morning from Wolverton.

Of note is that 319362 is in a new version of Northern's livery.

It's always subjective, as it's a personal opinion, but I think it would look better with a full yellow end as per the FCC livery.

As well as the LED destination displays there are also internal displays in the saloons too.
