317511 lives, out and about on the Ilford test trips today paired with 317515.
Hooray Now we need 317514 and 315850, then all will be well.
Don't forget 321425!
That doesn't venture up the West Anglia in service though, so it's not as interesting to me :-P
One of 317502's driving cars caught fire. So the damaged car from 502 was swapped with a working one from 511, and then 317511 became a Christmas tree for many years as MCR247 said. Why they didn't just use 502 as a Christmas tree is beyond me.
Very true! Although, 317511 didn't go along the West Anglia today. It had a blast up the GE to Witham at 100mph to blow 5/6 years worth of cobwebs away!
