Class 315 Withdrawals

[cjbirkett]

Didn't know how things would be affected by strikes this week but happy to say 837 and 857 were on the 18.15 ex Liverpool Street today (24th June).

A very productive couple of hours in the capital as I took in the new Elizabeth Line too!

Are the 315's out today?

They should be, was planning to catch one at Stratford earlier but didn't, although I did see 313121 there!

One was indeed out - I caught it at Stratford heading back to Liverpool St at I think 17:55.

315 847 + 315 856 ( I think ) were doing the daily lunchtime empty run to and from Liverpool Street today.

Any sign on RTT?

Any sign on RTT?

No, RTT doesn't give any indication of the specific use of 315s on a particular service.

This is the working referred to.

That didn't appear on RTT for some reason. It ran as 5Z14.

The earlier path was cancelled
https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K04058/2022-06-27/detailed and the replacement path didn't appear on RTT but it is here https://trackit.uppyjc.co.uk/TrackI...=False&CameFromLocationID=7767&Estimate=False

What does it do? Does it have staff on board apart from the driver?

Thanks yeh... did Stratford (17.55) - Liv St - Stratford on them.

 

[Foxxle]

What was a class 313 doing at Stratford?

Can't remember what time It was, maybe about half past two? It was stationary in the GreaterAnglia Meridian Water shuttle platforms

 

[Islineclear3_1]

What was a class 313 doing at Stratford?

It's Network Rail ERTMS train

 

[Kay_M]

I can confirm the 315s are still in service. I saw one today at Stratford around the peak times

Do they have a toilet on them?

Do they have a toilet on them?

Yes, looks like a portaloo

Two pairs of 315s out in service tonight, on the 1745 and 1815 ex-LST

Good to see they are dependable unlike the 345's

315838 + 315853 were on the 1745, now running the 1833 ex-Shenfield. I'm currently on 315837 + 315857 which are forming the regularly scheduled PM diagram.

Great to see two pairs out. Dependable units to the last.

Most likely due to the fact a 345 failed earlier, so the 315 pair (as they’re being retained to do) went in to cover.

Any idea whether the unbooked pair will stay out all evening?

I can see what was originally scheduled but not what might change as the evening goes on.

Yes, they still appear to be out, now working the 2112 ex-LST.

315s apparently diagrammed until December 2022 according to a FOI released today. Could change however as through EL services expected by autumn.

Isn't that just because December 2022 is the standard timetable change date rather than a hidden sign that the 315s will remain in service that long?

If I was betting, I'd say the 315s are the cover/contingency for the period while the remaining three 7-car 345s are converted to 9-car (after the East and West sides start running through and allow the West side peak extras to run from Platforms 11/12 at Paddington).

Yes. You can change anything under STP arrangements as you go along, or even re-issue the permanent diagrams if practical. The letter accompanying the diagrams says thay are subject to change.
