331 swaps or 323 swaps? This is quite good news, since every diagram covered by a 319 from this point would otherwise have been cancelled all day, but what happened to it being impossible to extend the lease.Note: Northern has confirmed in an internal memo that 319s will continue to be used on an ad hoc basis until the 331 swaps are complete, so today isn't the final day afterall. Don't expect them to tell us when the final workings will be though!
331 swaps. It'll become clear how long they've got once more Allerton-Skipton ROG moves appear in RTT, but I'd suggest at least the next fortnight will see continued use of 319s.331 swaps or 323 swaps?

Someone’s done a good job somewhere and the rarest kind of common sense has prevailed at the last minute. Do we know roughly how long this arrangement is likely to last?
Obviously with no booked diagrams in this timetable, 319s can appear on any random service!

I would love to know the justification for that1Y68 & 1N51 cancelled throughout (running ECS both ways), traincrew shortages.
It’s common that if there’s no guard the unit will still use the path to keep it from blocking a platform for how ever long it would be there.I would love to know the justification for that![]()
I do understand that, but Blackpool North has long platforms, permissive working is authorised, and there's also the carriage sidings nearby...It’s common that if there’s no guard the unit will still use the path to keep it from blocking a platform for how ever long it would be there.
And if a guard is found that can work the return leg (ie late notice rd work) then the unit is now in the right place.I do understand that, but Blackpool North has long platforms, permissive working is authorised, and there's also the carriage sidings nearby...
It also means if it's a minder+trainee/route learner driving they still get their hours and trips in rather than slowing training down.I do understand that, but Blackpool North has long platforms, permissive working is authorised, and there's also the carriage sidings nearby...
Many thanks for this 50032. Much appreciated . Please keep posting this info if you canSaturday 16th December, only one 319 out today:
