According to Wikipedia "Units 319008 Cheriton and 319009 Coquelles are notable for...on 10 December 1993, they travelled through the Channel Tunnel to Calais-Fréthun and back with a party of invited guests. The same article goes on to list 319 008 as being part of the class 769 electro-diesel Flexx project, whilst 319 009 is listed as stored. |

It's not entirely clear where they will be used, as they have been ordered to provide cover whilst some of the diesel units are refurbished, but probably on the Valley Lines. |
