RE: Northern Rail
It's been upped to 20 x 319s due to the loss of 6 x 156s to TPE last I heard. The increase to 20 units has supposedly been confirmed by the DfT too but I have no source to quote, apologies. |

The extra 6 possibly in readiness for the next phases of electrification between Manchester & Preston and Preston - Blackpool North although the latter is only scheduled to be ready for April 2017. |

Oh well its scheduled for April 2017 , but with everything else in the electrification projects its going to slip probably , I would hazard a guess and say that those 6 units will be away longer than first thought . |

RE: Northern Rail
The 156s? They're not going to TPE for any reason electrification related.. They're going to cover 185s which will be redeployed following the loss of 170s to Chiltern. |

Unfortunately it looks like the additional 319s will be for a truncated Lime Street to Preston service. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |
