No problem I'll chase the other 323s I need to tick off.Previous transfers have spent some time on the depot before entering service.

It's in service today. Was the end of the 0729 of Bromsgrove to Litchfield TV.Does the Centro unit have any regular diagrams or does it just turn up where ever?
Wouldn't mind getting a photo of it on Monday if it's around.

I presume one of these is 206, as it's not allocated in traffic today.Seen two more debranded 323's at Soho Depo, whilst on way to Birmingham New Street. I assume in preparation for transfer however didn't manage to get Identification Numbers. Both in full WMR Transitional Livery Debranded.

I believe there was a path for 206 to leave on Monday. However it was cancelled at the request of the operator.Tuesday 30th April 2024

Looks like 206 has already been stopped for transfer, hasn't been out for a week or so now. 209 out today.323206 & 323209 will be the next ones heading North on 13th May. No visit to Wolverton for these, straight to Allerton.
Not im aware of, no 350/2s have been stood down yet.Is there a finished 350s thread?
there was one, it got locked due to inactivity.Not im aware of, no 350/2s have been stood down yet.
Id presume every unit which is available will be in used this week due to their being no 730s being scheduled to be used this week on the cross city.Here's how its looking today from the magic box
206 is back on its last hurrah it seems after thoughts towards it being stopped.

Is the 13th May move definitely going ahead? Northern are desperate daily. Shortforming all over today.
I've seen the Man Vic - Wigan NW Chat Moss service as a DMU several times recently, and Allerton usually has several 323/331s parked up. Wonder of ot is an imbalance of where the EMUs are, as in Manchester area has a shortage.As far as 323s up here (in Northern land) goes there seems to be more parked today then in service so it seems the shortage is DMU vs EMU, just from observations here today!
11 out of 21 of Northern 323s are not use today according to PTS blog. That includes all 4 ex WMT units https://partimespotter.wordpress.com/2024/05/07/class-323-allocations-07-05-2024/As far as 323s up here (in Northern land) goes there seems to be more parked today then in service so it seems the shortage is DMU vs EMU, just from observations here today!
Even before Northern withdrew all of the 319s there always seemed to be a lot of 323s on Allerton Depot.11 out of 21 of Northern 323s are not use today according to PTS blog. That includes all 4 ex WMT units https://partimespotter.wordpress.com/2024/05/07/class-323-allocations-07-05-2024/
Isn't that a regular allocation? I thought the Hazel Grove terminators had to be DMUs because the stock interworks with Buxtons at Piccadilly.The 07:10 Hazel Grove to Manchester Piccadilly was a DMU vice 323 on Monday, but commuter numbers were probably low to non-existent that day.
