Back in November/December last year, The writing was on the wall for the venerable Class 319 EMU, That was introduced to the Northern network in 2015 or so as a "stop gap" solution - One that ended up lasting not that long off a decade!
As an enthusiast in the Merseyside area, I've basically grown up with these - As I started my spotting career in early 2016, so these have always been around for me. Back in late November, I recorded several videos on these units before they went. In this video, 368 had ran late due to signalling issues, and so was ordered to run fast as far as Huyton to make up for time - Involving an extremely rare skipping of St Helens Central!
The last 319s ran on New Year's Day 2024, and 368 was sent for scrapping 11 days later.
