How long do Northern class 319's have left?

Anything about the 323s?

Not that I know of.

Then you have heard wrongly. At my depot we've been told that won't happen till 2025 at the earliest.

The accompanying change will be 333s moving to Doncaster, but training hasn't even begun there yet. There is also no MoW for 6-car services on the Triangle as of yet.

They are not.

Indeed. There is no intention to scrap the 333s anytime soon.

4 x 331's will be transferring across to NL from AN for the December timetable.

It's expected that (at some point) the 333's will have their bolster crack issues sorted.

350's. Never happening.

Current plans:-

3 car 331’s are coming east in December but 6 car operation not happening until at least May 24 if not Dec 24. This is due to a requirement for power upgrades and the completion of the platform lengthening programme. 3 cars will cycle around Bradford FS with the LDS-ILK service cycling with LDS - SKI using 4 car units requiring an overhaul of crew/unit diagrams.

As for the 350 rumour. Forget it, it’s utter tosh.

Is there any news on what will work the Doncaster services? You’d have thought that Bradford to Ilkley and Skipton being reduced to hourly would free up a unit to be used for driver training between the May and December timetable changes.

No I only looked into the Leeds NW services I’m afraid.

350s would be better replacements than the 323s for services into Liverpool Lime Street if the 331/1 do not return as they are 4 car
