Would love to see a photo of this! Also sad though that they are finally being scrapped. Weird to think that 314s are that far down south. Don’t think they’ve ever made it out of Scotland lol

202 of course went on a jolly to the Netherlands and technically part of 203 spent a good bit of time on Merseyside but that’s probably splitting hairs a bit

It’s odd that 212 was able to make its trip from Yoker - Eastfield under its own power while 204 + 213 had to be hauled.

It's not really odd; 204 and 213 both had various faults that prevented them running under their own power but 212 didn't.

2 vehicles of 314213 should be at Kingsbury now, just one of the driving vehicles (64608) waiting to make the short journey from Rye Farm in Wishaw to Kingsbury shortly

Anyone aware if any of the other 11 units still in service have been withdrawn following this week’s scrap moves?

There’s a rumour circulating that 204 may be going on to further use somewhere.........

Wonder what it could possibly be used for? Maybe fit a third rail shoe to 204 and use on Southerns Coastway routes..

On a serious note, at shall be interesting to see what happens!

314215 was out and about today, but with a no Multiple working notice on one end. Will faults like that even be worth fixing at this stage?

Reported on Scot-rail forum that 314204 will go on low loaders to Eastleigh and is for eventual re-use in London. Don’t know if this is just rumours or is true.

Also on WNXX forum

It is reported that another is going to join 204 also, possibly for GWR to replace unavailable 313 units that were to be supplied for those 387 units going to Heathrow Express. Not sure how true this is
