I think the GWR ones will be so that they can run the North Downs services. That will be subject to signalling/TPWS issues.
Almost universal. It won't get very far under the Tyne & Wear Metro's 1500 V DC OLE.

And a few issues getting into St Peter's Square or round the bend at Sandilands respectively!
I think the Northern ones will have the 3rd rail shoegear removed? Do the 319s at Northern have it removed?
That fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch face first on the way down.
What next? Are they going to be cascaded to replace 360s on the Liverpool St-Ipswich jobs?
What's that cab design from?
The ends could be rebuilt as something resembling a class 317 or 455 to give through gangways. Alternatively, a proper driver's cab such as on the class 325 (which is the same basic bodyshell as a class 319* with a networker front end). Any othere internal reconfigurations would only be subject to the doors layout, as it the case for modern units.
It is just a 319 with a networker cab, buffers, no windows, no interconnecting gangways and the sliding doors replaced with roller shutters. Also they have no seats but it's a parcel units so what did you expect?
That’s an impressive picture where a 319 manages to get plug doors and a completely new window arrangement like a networker.
