All have been running this week except 317347 which has not carried a passenger in May. However it has done a number of test runs to Witham and back attached to other units which suggests that it will come back at some point.Could someone clarify the exact status of the following 317s, and if they are intended to be scrapped please?

How many now scrapped and how many remain? Can't see a full list. Thanks
Have these units been reinstated or are next for a scrap move?. I noticed this to on live rail record earlier.18/05
5V01 Harwich - Ilford
317714/723
Friday 21/05First of the 317/7s are off for scrap tomorrow. Ex-demo set 317722 will be off to Eastleigh Works for disposal by Raxstar
Thanks for the correctionFriday 21/05
So the drag now is definitely the ex-demo 317722?
Cheers, I'm hoping to catch it passing WokingCan confirm it is 317722 - just passed through Willesden (albeit with barrier coaches on each end of the unit)
I can imagine so - hasn’t it been out of use since 2016/17?Is 722 close to being the longest set in duration between being withdrawn from service to being scrapped?
According to post 458, it was 57310.Anyone know which loco took 317722 to Eastleigh this morning?
Who would have thought that it would outlive all the /6s!First of the 317/7s are off for scrap tomorrow. Ex-demo set 317722 will be off to Eastleigh Works for disposal by Raxstar
Does anyone know if 317714 is to be reinstated for passenger service this week? Thanks
Ahhh man that’s the last /7 I need to photograph to complete the lot (even managed to get 722!) - thanks though!My understanding is that 714+723 won't be returning to service, although I'm happy to be proved wrong!
Anyone know the unit numbers by any chance?
Did move occur today 26th may 2021?.
Still a few out, just 317722 that’s gone for scrap and 714 and 723 are stored at Ilford I believe.Is it true that the 317/7 have ceased to run? I was hoping to get some next week when I was off work.

There are currently only 22 working PRM units for 20 diagrams which is rather tight. We'll find out soon enough.I've heard rumours of them all being withdrawn from 1st June but I couldn't say for certain.
In other news, the 07:29 Ely - Liverpool Street was worked by 317506+504 this morning, good to see them still making it beyond Cambridge North!
