Blackpool North depot - a fair few are trained on 319 units
Manchester Victoria depot - more than a fair few sign 319 units
Wigan Wallgate depot - all crew should sign 319 units
Liverpool Lime Street - all crew should sign 319 units
Leeds City depot - no crew will sign 319 units however they exclusively work the sprinter operated Calder Valley services.

So in short, I don't think crew that crew training will be an issue for electric units working the line

It'll probably need route training as well, with the new layout and signalling on the route
