Class 317 withdrawals.

[St. Paddy]

So why are they shown in the consist of this train then on trust, as i can only go by what's shown on the system, its up to the human to put the correct details in, so they might not already be there! There looks to be an error somewhere then folks.

Of course, I was just commenting on what I’d seen upthread. As you say, someone is wrong

I’m hoping their withdrawal means that the 720s will be entering service soon on the West Anglia services - otherwise like I said above, I don’t see why GA/the DfT are not providing leeway in terms of their withdrawal…

According to my records, this leaves only 317710 at IL with the other seven 317/7s all now stored at Papworth, Ely.

 

[43102EMR]

My guess is they will be heading to Eastleigh fairly soon…

Second LO 317 to head for scrap as well

 

[Paul Jones 88]

With no 720s on the WAML this must be causing a stock shortage, surely, does anyone know when the 720s will be available?

Kingsbury eh? Not much has gone there for the past year.

 

[Jamesrob637]

Well an hour after it was due to depart and nothing yet.

 

[robert west]

looks like it's got the road now

on move 59 late start

 

[Aictos]

Went past it on the ECML twice, was surprised that the portable tail lamp on the rear of 889 wasn't lit and that only one of the built in tail lights was lit.

Thought when you select to turn on tail lights on the BR era built rolling stock that both tail lights are on?

Well, they got an extra week added to their life. Forgot about EMR at Kingsbury - not much has gone there for a while

The two doomed 317s are now at Kingsbury. ROG 37800 did the honours on the scrap move

Saw them whilst passing on the train. Wasn’t expecting them so did a double take when I saw them.

How many 317s are still in passenger use? Can we expect a farewell of any kind?
