It is understood that 321303 is back at Derby for mods for a laundry list of issues
No back at Wabtec, Doncaster but due out again

Seems like a bit of a waste when they're all going to be replaced in the next three to four years. Could Northern take them on to replace the 319s?
I believe 321303 is out in service now, been kept very quiet though
Not so sure about 365s - theoretically a Renatus 321 would be seen as a better unit based on its interior spec? Not seen any evidence that the AC traction package is going on the Renatus units any time soon though...
Personally I still think the 365 has a much nicer interior -- even after the recent refresh which has dumbed it down a little.
The 455's are more or less have the same design as the 321's apart from the front ends.
Any interior pictures?
See attached.
Looks like a fairly decent job to me. Can't wait to travel on it.

Same horrible ironing board seats which are spreading across the industry like a swarm of locusts, I see.

Is this in service yet?
Do we know which line it has been serving? Has it been assigned to a "Guinea pig line" as the IPEMU was in case of any problems?
Thanks.
These seats are by Quantum- the normal "ironing board" seats are by Compin-Fainsa.
Looks nice inside. But will all those stickers have to be changed to just Greater Anglia now?
Is this the equivalent of rolling out the 700s with the old Thameslink logo?
Nice pics and vids DL!
So can this be coupled to standard 321's?
or will this be avoided due to the differences in acceleration capabilities between units to save strain being placed on couplers etc.?
Newer units in this livery will probably get the new logo off the bat.
