What has happened to the 'Orion' project with their 768 and 319? As far as I know, 768001 is now at Castle Donnington Emdc and has been since November, no further use planned? And why did their second unit, the 319, never get the 768 (769/5) treatment?

All three of the completed Orion units are at Castle Donington - 319373, 768001 and 768002.

On the Class 319 Northern Departure thread, I asked about 319363. Wickham responded that according to his notes in went to Sims in April 2022, whereas 45076 said he had it going to Sims in July 2022.
But 319363 has appeared in the 2023 and 2024 Platform5 Locomotive and Coaching Stock books as in existence and stored at Long Marston.
I've be very grateful if someone can confirm 319363's status, and if scrapped, when and where. Many thanks

It's coaching stock being returned to Eastern Rail Services after it was used for a training exercise in the Midlands
