The centre car is still there. As just behind the driving car of 314204, you can see a pantograph.

Well a friend of mine heard somewhere and said
its down for preservation someone accepted it that’s what I heard. They got two full set one is getting chopped. He cannot remember where he heard this but mentioned angel spares one and one scrapping the other set for parts the one without its numberboard chopped. However that’s just a roumer but I don’t believe it would be true however we don’t know this conformity yet it probably is not likely going to happen all we could say is I don’t think the source is true unless we find out as they’re is no updates yet.
Two coaches of 314204 ( PTS 71453 & DMS 64589 ) are now in the scrap siding at Eastleigh heading into the Raxstar area. No sign today of DMS 64590, which was that where the front number had been cut away.

314209 looks set to become the sole surviving 314 within the next few days it seems. Only fully intact one it’ll be as well.

Scot-rail has it as scrapped July 2020 now. Last I looked it was still merely at Eastleigh.

I haven't seen any photos to confirm that 314204 has meet it's end

Fair enough, just seemed strange that Scot-rail should add "scrapped" to its listing instead of just leaving it as "at Eastleigh" if the unit is still extant.

Well, I guess that leaves unit 314209 remaining.
I was on 314204 in December 1998 when I went to 'Shine on Glasgow' in George Square.

No pics of 204 being dismantled have appeared yet but given that pics of rolling stock being scrapped at Eastleigh Works have previously been put online I won’t be surprised if such a pic of 204 meeting its end appears soon
PTS 71453 of 314204 has now vanished, only wagons in the scrap siding at Eastleigh this morning.
Carl Watson's page http://www.carlswatson.com/trains.html has some updates, starting from 29th June. It would appear that 64590 was first to be scrapped, but no actual scrapping pictures.

Indeed I passed the depot today and 314209 is still there, although it has picked up a fair amount of graffiti on the front and sides of it. Let’s hope it hasn’t corroded and returned itself to the earth by the time they are ready to start fitting this hydrogen equipment

On occasions that I've passed the depot, there's been people in hi-vis wandering around 314209, preparations to fit the equipment maybe?

So at least eight units haven't been fully scrapped.

I'd love to know their definition of "spares"; I wouldn't have thought the Metro-Cam D Stock would have much in common with the BREL EMUs of the era.
