Just bumping this. Despite reports the the contrary about the demaged vehicle(s) from 350403 departing soon by road for repair, 350403 still resides inside the shed at Ardwick. 5 months to the day it was damaged on Bonfire Night.

Hit a cow right?

Should 172002, 172006 be added. Although at Tyseley they have not turned a revenue wheel for quite some time.

Does anyone know what is happening with 317669 and 671? 669 hasn't been seen this year and last confirmed sighting for 671 was January 10th. Have they gone for overhaul or have they been withdrawn?

350403 is now outside Ardwick depot on a stabling road. Brand-new wheelsets on all vehicles, repairs to gangway and steps.

Driving vehicle involved has had half the livery peeled off . Reportedly being dragged somewhere for repairs .

thanks for the update

Is 91103 back in service yet? It’s not worked since January I believe.

TBSchenker · 22 Apr 2019

This could be for the traction to haul 350403 for repair? Of course maybe not, Siemens do wheel lathe for other companies so we shall see.

334017 been out of service for nearly a year after hitting cows
Stored at Polmadie

I noticed what I presume was 350403 poking out of the shed at Ardwick TMD today and noticed both driving ends were de-liveried. Were both ends damaged or has something else needed to be done?

TBSchenker · 22 Apr 2019

The bodysides were damaged by flying ballast, so the holes have been filled and the viynls removed to assist.

Thanks for the info - Assumed it was just a case of the leading carriage being damaged so wondered why both were de-vinyled

350403 is currently on its way to Wolverton, being dragged by a Class 37 operated by the ROG. Reportedly it is fully de-vinyed, and given the expected delivery of Class 397s later this year it is highly probably that 403 will never work for TPE again.

It is indeed vinyl-less - here's a shot of it passing Stafford en route to Wolverton. https://flic.kr/p/2efLTLv

More likely overhaul - with the 710 programme behind schedule (and by that dint, the 720s), it'd be madness for Abellio to dispense of their incumbent fleet.

317671 is running again so you're probably right. No sign of 317506 coming back from Kilmarnock though.

Nope, and it doesn't look like it'll be for a while - awaiting new wheelset bearings I'm led to believe.
The loco's fine mechanically, but the bearings are hard to come by...

Any idea as to the whereabouts of 170201 at the moment, have not seen it for a while

It's supposed to be going to WMT some point this year may as well do the livery half properly.

Probably getting ready to go to Wales.

PHILIPE · 25 Apr 2019

According to this, it could still be at Ilford waiting to move to WMT

If you’re referring to 170201, that is going to TfW later this year. Are you thinking of 172001?

377309.

Vehicle 68409 undergoing work in the Repair Shop at Selhurst (17 road). Other two vehicles on 9 road at the depot.

Isn't 68409 part of 377309, not 377306? Or has a set swap occurred?

03_179 · 25 Apr 2019

Correct I installed the wrong fingers this morning

Dear, dear. I'm often mixing up these classes/sub-classes.

321448 appears to heave vanished off the face of the globe again in recent months. Not seen any pictures of it in service since September 2018.
