There may well still be some there in March. If 8 are going in January, that leaves 15. So it's possible

Former @greateranglia Cl.317s at Potter Group, Ely are due to start moving to Newport Docks for scrap. Between 8 and 10 are set to go from the 23 there. Moves meant to start in early-February

Wonder why only 8? Is there any realistic possibility of units stored cold for so long being resurrected?

 

[tricky18jan]

Hi all, is there a way see everything that is parked at Ely ? Or is it just see what you see from the path round one side and passing train on the other ?

 

[reddragon]

Was it my imagination or did I see a Greater Anglia class 317 coach parked up in the car park of Thames Valley Park in Reading with steps up to the gangway end?

Too quick to be sure.

Yes, 71621 from 317345

Unidentified Mk3 derived EMU coach at Oracle Parkway, Reading

I noticed that Oracle at Thames Valley Park, Reading have a new addition to their site in the form of an old BR Mk3 EMU coach, and they've also constructed a new 'platform' with canopy next to it. Seems to be a novelty meeting space. It's not physically connected to the railway in any way...

I saw this pair drop their pantographs for the last time at Cambridge on March 17th last year. I got a photo of them still cut in with their compressors chugging away just five minutes earlier. RIP

Where are 317.511,513,515,520 / 342

And the same to you. Also out of interest.
37800 took 317513 317348 for scrap on the 20th May 2022.
37800 took 317342 317515 for scrap on 27th May 2022.
However a Rail Operations Group driver told me a couple of months ago the rest will go to Newport when Angel Trains decide Time to scrap is due for them to go.
