 * Describing one class of train as having replaced another has difficulties. It's OK if a brand-new class first entered service on a route where at the same time an older class was withdrawn for scrapping, as happened with the initial delivery of - it directly replaced  on the Moorgate/St Pancras to Bedford route. But when  was introduced, it went to the same routes - and the class 317 units weren't scrapped, they were sent to the lines out of Liverpool Street. So did class 319 replace class 317? In a way, but not entirely. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 08:21, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
