There are currently 27 319/4s off lease. Deducting the additional three on order for Northern as well as the five units being converted for Arriva Trains Wales you're left with nineteen 319/4s available for conversion to bi-mode "Flex" units. There'll also be the West Midlands Trains 319s (including five 319/4s) coming off lease once their new EMUs have entered service

If there's sufficient demand I can definitely see the /0 and /2 subclasses being converted as well - but not until all of the 319/4s have been converted to "Flex" units
