315808 and 315822 both went to Northampton today, while 315812 and 315825 went the other way, returning to Ilford E.M.U.D.
No doubt we’ll be bidding a final adieu to 812 + 825 soon. I can sense a final trip to South Wales beckoning for the two units

Might be a 360 heading back down after mods. Though if it was a pair of 315s this will very likely be a pre-scrap movement
That working is indeed for 360114 going back south after mods.

The 315s at Northampton currently are: 315808 & 315822, 315831 & 315803, and 315825 & 315812. Of these, 315825 & 315812 are the only two off-lease and are awaiting movement for scrapping.

Once 812 heads for scrap, the angry eye 315s will pretty much be extinct should 809 indeed be getting taken apart at Wolverton

Angry eye sets now very close to total extinction now! Also I believe this is the first scrap move to go directly from Northampton.

I do apologise I just checked the date and it says 9th September, very sorry I made a mistake nobody's perfect, I suppose. :lol:
That’s alright, I’m not that perfect either sometimes! 8-)

Also while I’m at it, is anyone able to confirm that 315809 is still at Wolverton?

Even though it's opposite where I live, I've not seen any 315's at the Works for a long time, so it's possibly not there, although someone who works there or who is very nosy/in the know might be able to answer for sure. 8-) :lol:

Sad times, do you or anyone else know if any more are coming up to Northampton for storage, as it will enable me to get some more shots of them before they disappear. I'm aware of tomorrows scrap move which is passing my local of Wolverton at last as they're usually routed via Northampton or Bletchley along the Marston Vale aren't they?
