Nearly all of them actually. Only 319 001/004/005/009/010/011 are not PRM compliant

Thank you
Could you confirm when 373, 451/53/54/55 last had C6s (records show 2008) and were made fully PRM compliant?
Thank you
Brian

Whoops forgot about those! They are not PRM compliant. Forgot about them because they were amongst the earliest units to be stood down. 372 as well is not PRM compliant

319370 and 319424 are now in service.

 

[Foggycorner]

why can't they swop 319431 for a good one from the scrap line sorry stored line at Long marston

Because the cost of repairing 431 might be less than the cost refurbish another 319 to Northern standard

 

[Class455]

319370 and 319424 are now in service.

Cheers for that, have removed them from the list

319007 has been moved to Wolverton. Is this one of the units going to Arriva Trains Wales?

I don't think so, I'm sure I read somewhere ATW's 769s will be converted from 319/4s as well.

Must be going for mods like 319421 did at Bombardier Derby.

 

[Class319&373]

I think 319007 might be going to get its third rail shoe removed like the rest that are still in service.

319421 was there for electrical interference tests, don't believe it was modified at all.

Has Cauldwell Depot now closed following the loss of the 319's and 377's? Will the building be demolished?

No and no - it's being wound down by the end of the year. The building will remain, they are removing maintenance facilities, covering over the inspection pits and so on, but staff mess and facilities for cleaning, tanking and so on remain. Stabling for 12 car class 700s is being created. It is possible the depot will be reactivated to service EMUs once Corby is electrified.

319421 was hauled from Long Marston to Allerton yesterday. Is this moving to Northern as cover for 319431?

I'm not sure, apparently it's in "as withdrawn" condition but without the third rail pick up shoe.

The Porterbrook Cl 769 Flex trains from 319s thread says

319 424 has moved to Brush to join the 2 units already there.

I know I get told they are still in service with London Midland but they only work on the WCML at peak periods will they get any weekend diagrams on the WCML?

Highly unlikely, the class are hated by Management due to their dismal reliability so are used the bare minimum i.e Weekday Peaks. The chances of ever seeing an LM one in service on a weekend bar the St Albans line is practically nil. Also there's a lot of uncoupling and coupling if 350 diagrams on a Saturday so that would render it even more unlikely.

Then why did they want them in the first place:roll:

 

[Domh245]

Then why did they want them in the first place:roll:

Because their 321s had been taken by the ROSCO to go to scotland, and the 319s were the only suitable units available?

 

[swt_passenger]

Then why did they want them in the first place:roll:

They probably didn't want them at all.

However the equivalent small number of 321s LM were still using were removed by their ROSCO for use in Scotland (converted as 320s) and the 319s were the most suitable alternative.

They needed something for the Abbey Branch.

Cheers mate, updated
319 384 has also been delivered to Northern.

I suppose the only way to get the LM 319's weekend diagrams is if some more 350's get damaged and need repairing I mean they even refurbished them which seems such a waste as they spend most of their time on the flippin carriage sidings:-x
