I was wondering the sameWere there any pics of 004 being scrapped?
Probably raided for spares. I suspect they'll have to bin a few more given the woeful levels of reliability of the existing 319s.Is there any reason why that particular unit was scrapped?
Does anyone know the reason for 319380 being moved to Northampton EMD the other day?
317s you say? Interesting...I have 317364 and 317379 as the other candidates. Come May however the 3 x 319/0's are tentatively down to leave......subject to the arrival of the remaining 6 x 350/4's
317s you say? Interesting...
I've just updated it based on information here and observations. If anyone else can provide any new information that would be great. I can't imagine there are too many 319's left at Long Marston now.is the original list on the first page still updated to date?
319003&319006 have been delivered to Canton as 769s according to the 769 for TfW thread. 319007 has been seen at Doncaster as 769007I've just updated it based on information here and observations. If anyone else can provide any new information that would be great. I can't imagine there are too many 319's left at Long Marston now.

Probably, LNWR haven't finished with them yet, they probably just aren't needed with the reduced Covid 19 timetable.Just noticed this (apologies if it's in another thread too):

Is it known why they're off to Eastleigh?319373 and 319009 currently on route to Eastleigh from Long Marston hauled by 37800 on 5Q86

Scrapping with a bit of luckIs it known why they're off to Eastleigh?
From wnxx forum it seems to suggest these are for reuse. My guess would be ROG parcels units as neither have PRM modifications.319373 and 319009 currently on route to Eastleigh from Long Marston hauled by 37800 on 5Q86

Indeed they are, and its good to see them go through their old patch too, running on the Southern/Thameslink network between Clapham Junction and Wimbledon.319373 and 319009 currently on route to Eastleigh from Long Marston hauled by 37800 on 5Q86

I see! Do they have any existing mail trains right now?Certainly a rather odd and unusual routing to get them down to Eastleigh though, I'd have expected them to do up to Evesham or Worcester, change ends, then down the Cotswold to Oxford / Reading / Basingstoke / Eastleigh.
