As the 319's are getting scrapped and more 331/0's coming to Yorkshire soon to make 6 cars on Airedale. I doubt that would happen anyway until at least the Transpennine Route Upgrade is completed between Manchester and Leeds, where at that point the electrification on that route should be in place by then.
Once the platform extensions are completed on certain stations at Airedale and more 331/0's come over, then yes.
Hamy many more 331/0s will move over to Yorkshire? guess they'll go once the ex West Midlands 323s turn up.
Short term (very loudly complained about) pain for long term gain. It'll be worth it in the end
An extra two cars on a handful of trains, eventually. Although AIUI there are no long-term plans for 3-car services to be the norm on certain routes, I don't hold out much hope that it will only happen one in a blue moon. The Bradford to Ilkley and Bradford to Skipton services have already been reduced to hourly, and I expect these will frequently end up being 3-car rather than 4.
Yes.
Seen it as I was driving along the M57. Was a cool sight
They will be 2x331.
Pairs of 331s.
Northern would need to order more carriages for that to happen, and Northern are looking at ordering new trains now so no more carriages will be ordered for the 331s.
331/1 are staying at Allerton.
That's fine, it's only a trip across the Pennines away if I wanted to ride them at least.
Nope, I know they're going to be based there for the foreseeable future as per my previous post.
Only lasted 1 trip and they've been on Doncasters before on an ad hoc basis
As above, definitely not the first one and happened because Neville Hill were short of 331s.
They will still run on Triangle too.
