Nice video I really love the sound of those traction motors it’s a good sound it’s a shame that they are retiring soon unfortunately I have nether been on a 319 not even I do believe these are being replaced by the new class 730 units which I do believe are the same as the 720s with air conditioning and plug points I think I also believe they are 5 car will the also be 10 car like the 720?
@@trainstrainstrains40 Thank you! Im interested in them because Ganz-Mavag built trains for New Zealand and because of cooperation they acquired the license for a GEC license and built their version of it. And the Wellington Ganz trains and BVmot/BVhmot series at MÁV have a very similar sound to class 317/319 maybe a bit 313 because of it!
The London Northwestern Railway Class 319 are to be replaced by the Class 730 this year and are to be stored. Unless they are to be converted to ROG “Orion” Class 768 to be used on parcel express duties. Perhaps London Northwestern Railway could of inherited the Class 379 Electrostars from Greater Anglia instead of ordering new 5-Car Class 730 trains.
I don’t see the 730’s coming this year tbh they don’t even look Half ready for this year and they have barely tested them I don’t know how lnwr are going to get these in by September
Fantastic video. Loved all of it! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video they are one of my favourite trains

Thanks for your comment, I absolutely love the 319s. you're right about them being replaced by the 730s, but I know nothing about them, sorry.
For how much longer are they in service?
Hi, they will remain in service until the new Class 730s enter service, but who knows when that will be. Thanks for commenting.
