321312 and 321321 in the past week or so have featured on the following.
1. 1038 5F96 Ilford E.M.U.D TO Witham
2. 1142 5V97 Witham to Ilford E.M.U.D .
On at least 3 occasions on the 10th and 11th May 2023. Including Wednesday the 17th May 2023.
So Ilford has at least 3 321s. 321305 321312 321305 321312 321321 at the time of posting this. However 321321 is back on the move ablight around 9 months in store at Ilford.
Wondering how much cost and work it involved to return it back only for storage???.
However I presume the remaining 321s still on Greater Anglia are at Clacton unless anyone knows different?.

Thursday 18th May 2023 saw
1. 1038 5F96 Ilford E.M.U.D to Witham.
2. 1142 5V97 Witham to Ilford E.M.U.D.
321305 with 321321. Maybe next in line for Decommissioning at Clacton. In time.
Also a reliable source informs me that on Friday 19th May 2023.
1.1100 5N94 Ilford E.M.U.D to Clacton C.S.D 321312 returned to Clacton for decommissioning.
2. Whilst 5F53 1332 Clacton csd to Colchester.
Then 5V53 1421 Colchester csd to Ilford was 321314.
So Ilford should now be 321305 321314 321321. With the rest at Clacton decommissioning or awaiting removal to onward storage. With 321307 the final 321 at Clacton still to go to Ilford and return for, off lease handover checks, prior to decommissioning at Clacton?.

currently in secure storage at Worksop pending final arrangements for the site. It will be moved down by road in due course.
And before someone asks, unfortunately, we still cannot confirm the unit number. When we are allowed to disclose we will.

It actually turned out to be 321312, 321307 and 321311 when I saw it at Camden Road Junction. Is 314 still at Clacton?

321314 321321 321305, I myself still believed to be at Ilford. However on a Facebook 321 group page website it shows, that all day Friday the 26th May 321314 was with 321321 on test running between Shenfield and Southend Victoria. Including some video footage. Possible rumours on their that 321314 and 321321 maybe are still at Southend, unless as stated above are believed ie still at Ilford. With 321305. Unless all or some, have moved this week to Clacton between strike days unknown. However 321321 recently with other units has had a lot of work done to it ie part wise and and under gone with other 321 units, major mileage accumulation runs to return it into a fit condition to hand back to Eversholt, prior to storage, pity though due to amount of money spent that it might get withdrawn.
However interesting post from a op above that, 321306 has Returned to Ilford, probably for the same mileage accumulation running before withdrawal, parts, more interestingly, probably a new transformer fitted to it, only for storage or withdrawal. What a waste of money, hopefully something might be found for the 321s? . So Updated Possible Friday 02 June 2023. No units at Clacton.
Ilford 321306, 321305, 321314, 321321?????
Anyone update further??????

For which move?

I would assume it's had to travel back to GA to be decommissioned before being handed back to the leasing company.

I’m not sure what they’d be going there for. Is there a storage site there?
Could be Clacton, Colchester or Harwich for all I know. I only noticed that lights for the direction of travel was East bound and they were sitting in the platform Southend trains normally use. But it doesn't mean that's where they were heading...

Has been reported, on the Facebook 321 websites, that 321314 is assisting 321321 with mileage accumulation runs, because Eversholt wants it 321321 handed back in a certain condition and due to storage space at Ilford, due to needed for 720s, Southend Victoria is being used to temporary store, 321314 and 321321.

Makes sense I guess

Why would the ROSCO want them to be out of miles?
My thoughts precisely. I'd be interested to know.

They don’t want them out of miles. Mileage accumulation is about proving the train is working correctly after maintenance and before handback to Eversholt.
Are any of the Renatus sets at Worksop?
