Real-time train running information for 5Q66 1644 departure from Soho L.M.D. to Tyseley L.M.D. on 14/03/2024. From Realtime Trains, an independent source of train running info for Great Britain.www.realtimetrains.co.uk
April has been mentioned for the rollout however no official date as has been mentioned yet I believe. Not sure on the withdrawal date, But June in my opinion does seem quite fast. Quite ambitious to get the whole rollout done in 8 or so weeks, as that works out at around 1-2 diagrams a week to replace with their being 13 diagrams.Is the 730 roll out still expected to begin in April and then all 323s gone by June? That seems to be a very fast withdrawal - December might be more reasonable.

Next two WM units identified for transfer to Northern in April - 323202 & 323206
323211 and 323214 are out of action at Soho and Wolverton respectively.
All other WM 323's have been seen out in the last week except 323213, including the two that went to Tyseley for tyre turning.
Because WMT are contractually required to under the terms of the lease.Why spend the money?
I would presume it would need to be handed back to poterbrook in working condition. I believe the plan (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is for the 9 to be placed in warm storage on hand back from WMT.Brilliant list thanks.
One query. 214 is obviously having money spent on it at Wolverton but is not on the list going to Northern so likely to be stored.

Thanks.I would presume it would need to be handed back to poterbrook in working condition. I believe the plan (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is for the 9 to be placed in warm storage on hand back from WMT.
I take it your info is from railway data - I can't believe you saw all these from somewhere - google earth isn't that good yet!Brief look at today - Out on the cross city just to add to Liams + JW4
201 + 210
202 + 207
203 + 204
205 worked alone then coupled to 209 @2210
206 + 221
209 + 222 till 2200
215 + 243
216 + 219
217 + 242
218
240 + 241
Transfered
208 - Preston
212 - Blackpool N
220 - Allerton
Not in use
211 - Depot
213 - Soho to Northampton and back 5T91/5J65
214?
The Northampton moves are for tyre turningThe 5T91/5J65 Northampton working is unusual. I see that these two paths can be used M-F, but aren't used all that often. Is it route learning for ROG crew ready for more 323's to head to Wolverton?

Did not have a ride past Soho today.
Either 203 or 207 as they are not allocated today.Hunslet has tweeted about the next unit to transfer north after 202 and 206.
I take it there's a list of which ones are transferring to northern on certain dates?
100?203 is penciled in for the Tyseley drag today and 207 is on 100 trips to Bromsgrove and back.
Could be worse, Could be 100 trips to Redditch!100?
Sounds a lot, but guessing maybe fairly normal??
Harsh lolCould be worse, Could be 100 trips to Redditch!
it's a 3 hour round trip to between Lichfield and Bromsgrove so would only be able to fit 4 round trips a day usually
