Currently all 319's due to be gone in the last weekend in August.
Not sure which units it will be, but the positioning moves are as follows:
Saturday
5W00 15+55 Three Bridges Depot to Bedford CS
5W02 16+47 Three Bridges Depot to Cricklewood Depot
Sunday
5W99 17+21 Three Bridges Depot to Bedford CS
5W00 19+21 Three Bridges Depot to Cricklewood Depot...
No idea how long 319's will be around for, but somebody earlier posted September. The way the cascade seems to have stalled, this sounds about right.
Plenty. Blackfriars to Sevenoaks Saturday and Sunday are exclusively 319, plus the usual mix of 319/377/700 on the Wimbledon Loop.

But would do nothing to address the undesirable and all too frequent power changeover problems which already has the potential to wreak carnage let alone when they try and squeeze 24tph through the core, particularly as the increased use of 12 cars has rendered the standard Smithfield bolthole...
Given the problems the power changeover all too often causes, would it be feasible to extend the DC through to Kentish Town (where there are three platforms), and do the changeover there? At least then the failed train can be worked around with the minimum of fuss, and is also a short, limpable...
I believe the plan is that once the 319 and 377 cascade has been completed sometime this year, the existing Cauldwell Walk Depot will cease its function as a maintenance depot, and will be converted to a solely cleaning/stabling location.

As I'm only too painfully aware.
A valuable diversionary route signed by only a handful of drivers.
If anything serious happens at Herne Hill or Tulse Hill, it's all over.
