How many class 319 bi-mode will there be?

It depends on how many are ordered. I think there's 2 or 3 prototypes

It's unclear how many will be produced and also unclear how many operators could get bi-mode 319s which Porterbrook are calling '319 Flexs.'

Interesting, Rail Magazine states service entry as next December. Someone's not right here and you'd probably believe the leasing company.

As I said before, a class 319 bi-mode can do Liverpool-Blackpool North service. It can do Liverpool to Preston using overhead wire and Preston to BLackpool North using diesel mode.
