No, plus 319425 back out earning it's keep today, minus it's front end sticker.

 

[Class455]

Have just seen a 319 heading south near Norwood Junction at around 06:30.. Didn't catch the number though but I wonder if it was heading for Brighton?

Tb411 is being covered by an 8 car 319 today.
Should be on the 1040/1626 Bedford to brighton and the 0748/1335/1933 brighton to Bedford. Catch it while you can.

319425 has also. Even back out in service the last couple of days.

I might be being thick, but what do you mean by front end sticker?

It had an NSE sticker applied to the front for the Class 319 farewell tour

I didn't realise 319's were still on the Brighton line, is this a regular occurrence?

Today's Railways are reporting that 319 370/381/384/385 are indeed due for Northern, therefore Northern will have all 319/3's apart from 319 372 and 373 which are at Long Marston.
319 004/005/218/219 will no longer be going as previously thought and are remaining in storage.
In addition to the 319/3's, the following 319/4's are moving to Northern and being converted to Class 769's.
319424
319431
319442
319458
The list has been updated to show this.

Also - can anyone confirm that 319 433 is now in service with London Midland. Have not seen any more of it since it was pictured on a test from Wolverton.

So with the recent updates on the 700 thread, do GTR's 319s have a short stay of execution?

 

[MatthewRead]

Are there any 319's left on the Sutton loop because I want to go one from Sutton this Saturday.

No trains at Sutton this weekend - replacement buses instead. Thameslink trains from Luton work from Central London to Wimbledon via Tooting and reverse. The St Albans terminators are cancelled.

If 319's are going into storage (presumably because they're surplus), does this mean GTR has enough stock to run every train a 8-car minimum?

They won't have much choice soon! I understand that since the timetable change everything is booked as at least 8-car in readiness for full 700 operation, but as to whether that's working out in practice I can't answer... I suspect lack of space to stable everything is a driving factor in how quickly the 319s are sent into storage.

Many weekend Sevenoaks services are still 4x319.

What do you mean most cranks love the 319's!

 

[Class455]

Saw only one pair of Class 319's on the Sutton loop yesterday, I was doing the full loop yesterday morning...but on a 455 not a 319/700

 

[Class455]

Any departures planned for this weekend?

 

[Silverlink]

I have seen more 319's running about than 700's. Also seen 3 pairs on Bedford route the other day was in shock!
