No problem. These things aren't always 100% up to date

I assume that there are probably more 321s off lease.

When does the scrap move info for the 321 appear on real time trains? Thanks in advance for answering.

Class 321352 and 321364 could potentially be the next ones of to scrap. This is a 100% pure guess so don't take this to be true!

I've been able to update the 321 @ Harwich data today (https://www.ukraillog.co.uk/313-322) having seen a photo taken yesterday :)
321359, 321362, 321365, 321408, 321439 & 321444 all shown to be sat there!

I also have 321406 and 321425 as being there but that appears to not be the case so if anyone can shed any light on these 2 units, it would be appreciated, thanks.

Any reason why some Renatus units are being debrandes already ..when there are still so many older 321's to scrap first?

They are being debranded because they must have graffiti on it.

Ah of course, that is the one @Islineclear3_1 mentioned yesterday as being back to work. My memory is terrible haha.
I'll change that one back to active later then (even though it could easily be back in warm store before we know it)

So yes, on 19th May, 321.406 was definately working 12.05 Clacton-Liverpool Street with 321.336 and by my estimation, would have ended up at Colchester C.S.D at the end of the day.

I may be wrong on that of course

Thanks, so is that a move for a freight train to go to Clacton to collect a 321 to go Newport scrap ?

Not a freight train but a locomotive running by itself. The last few scrap moves have been hauled by a Class 57. It normally runs the day/night before the scrap move to give time for the stock (aka 321) to be prepared, coupled up and brake tests etc. to be done so that the move can go swiftly and get the stock away

Are there any pictures of the 321’s at Newport?
Click to expand...
Photos of “anything” at Newport are incredibly rare. They are scrapped within a few hours apparently.

The same question has come up in a few threads over the last couple of years, I don’t remember any photos ever appearing in response - but there’s always a first time...
