Can anyone confirm if the watford concrete yard still stables a 319?

There is one 319 unit on the Abbey, if that needs to come off due to a possession or engineering work it stables in the yard. It came off regularly during leaf fall season to allow the water train to spray the line, but leaf fall is over so the unit will more often than not stable in platform 11 at this time of year.

If a 319 unit is in there at other times its a) because it has failed, or as in the case of today b) lack of traincrew means the service isn't running.

Sorry platform 11 I believe is what I meant by the yard, so they do actually move it elsewhere for certain circumstances!

Does the driver just walk through the yard then? Is there a authorised route.

Yes, walking route off the end of platform 10 to the yard.

Thanks! Will take the camera soon, I’d like to get some footage of the 319. Do the units rotate weekly, I am led to believe Saturday afternoon it swaps with another from Northampton?
