LNWR class 319 workings to & from Euston

[slammerTel]

Many apologies if its already been posted before but I'm pondering if the current class 319 workings to/from Milton Keynes/Bletchley/Tring to Euston AM peak and return working in the PM peak will continue after the May timetable change or will they be replaced by class 350 units.

If anyone has any gen on these workings it would be very much appreciated.

Check out Realtime Trains, it's not 100% as there can be last minute substitutions, but mostly if it says it's "Pathed as Class 321 EMU" it will be a 319. They are likely to remain in service until the orange 730s take over temporarily.

Isn’t this all on the Part Time Spotter blog?

Cheers for the heads up Bletchleyite .

WMT have just Tweeted a set of short-formings that will occur over the summer due to "not being able to park as many trains at Bletchley while it's redeveloped for the new units".

Reads to me that the trains they can't "park" are the 319s (because if you were needing to reduce the fleet, they're the ones that would go) - does this mean 31/5 (or indeed 30/5; 31st is a strike day) is the last day for some or all of the 319s?

(not quoted as it's an image - but basically it's a list of about 3 peak trains in each direction which will be 4 coaches shorter)
