To answer your question from the other thread, I went on 321427 when it was attached to 322484+322481. I see that 336+337, 421+424 and 426+429 are still paired up. I assume that they will get another dispensation to carry on running the non PRM units.
I went on 427 when paired up with 335, I think they changed the pairings early morning Saturday. I think another dispensation is highly unlikely.

They'll have to turn out a lot more 720s but if lots of crew have been trained then a big bang is possible. Glad I hammered the 321s on Friday. 12 different units on various moves out as far as Colchester. Never set foot on a 720 or a Renatus!

They have extended the dispensation a lot of times. I also never set foot on a 720 or renatus on Friday and even the PRM northern units and hopefully. To be honest, all I cared is that I found 427, which I did, but hopefully they do extend their dispensation.

Your observations helped me snag 321331 on a Clacton earlier, so much appreciated. Nice noisy run up the GEML was had to Colchester.

Is 2F31 or 2F35 with 321340? Is one of them a typo for 321430?

A good question. I've definitely just had 340 on 2F35 so am 99% sure 2F31 is a typo for 430.

Edit- it was 321330.

Is there a sin bin of 321’s at Clacton depot? I’m soon going to go there and hopefully tick off some units. Just 25% left of the fleet to tick off

What units do you need?

321.343 has been in the same spot on 2 separate Sundays I have visited (2 weeks apart). Pan up on both occasions so assume warm store
Non prm units (on lease with ga)
336, 337, 406, 426, 430, 440

prm units

903, 902, 301, 303, 312, 314, 317

Note this excludes some units off lease which I have yet to tick off

I've seen 321 902 as recently as two weeks ago, in service.

Someone tweeted this morning a picture which was inside 321 301, so that was running around today.
