Ah ok, so replying to somebody's speculative post about preservation; it won't be 001 then...If I remember correctly it was converted into a demonstrator unit for hydrogen power and became 799001.

That's a pretty elusive beastie isn't it? I guess it's usually stored. Is there any public vantage point you can see it from - or from a passing train? Many thanksIf I remember correctly it was converted into a demonstrator unit for hydrogen power and became 799001.
It is surprising tho, given how quick a vehicle can be disposed by the smasher at Newport compared to the far slower process using gas axes elsewhere. Having said that as you point out the commercial need in a given area may well make the difference
Do you think we can therefore assume that the remaining coaches of 451 and 455 were broken up at Sims, Nottingham?RCTS has stated in the April RO that all 4 coaches of 453 arrived at Sims, Newport on 15th December, followed by 62965 (451) and 71874, 77446/7 (455) on 16th December.
319372 is back in service. On the Lime Street to Wigan NW service today.319372 is stillo with Northern Trains. It is currently not required so is in store at Allerton.
It was also in service yesterday on the 2-hourly MIA-LIV diagrams.319372 is back in service. On the Lime Street to Wigan NW service today.
Today is the last full day of service.After today, is this definitely the end of Abbey 319 operations?
Many thanks for the infoToday is the last full day of service.
apparently they run on Monday on the morning services then in the service gap the 319 is taken out and replaced with a 350 thus marking the end of 319 Abbey Fliers.
LNWR will probably then store this unit at Bletchley until, if ever it’s needed again.
It was the last move.Many thanks for the info
This looks like the last 319s move from the Abbey Line

I believe it was 319218What was the unit please?
That’s right.I believe it was 319218
OK thanks.I believe it was 319218
Wasn't aware of this but it's been placed into storage at Crewe South Yard by the looks of things. It looks like it's the only one that's left LNW so far?Is the list on page 1 still accurate, I think I heard 319441 was now off lease but don't know if this is correct?
I don't know how true this is but I've heard 441 is due to go to Orion for parcels conversionIs the list on page 1 still accurate, I think I heard 319441 was now off lease but don't know if this is correct?

It's been back in service for a while now. 319384 was out of commission for a while but that returned to service with the 0603 MAN-CRE.319372 was in service today. I had it on the 0758 Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Piccadilly. It returned to Liverpool on the 0859
Believe it's still at Eastleigh undergoing conversion to a 768Does anyone know the status of 319380?
Thanks in advance
Doesn't the 0758 ex-Lime Street go to Victoria, not Piccadilly?319372 was in service today. I had it on the 0758 Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Piccadilly. It returned to Liverpool on the 0859
Whilst I had been out and about I just had not seen it other than on Allerton Depot.It's been back in service for a while now. 319384 was out of commission for a while but that returned to service with the 0603 MAN-CRE.
Indeed so:Doesn't the 0758 ex-Lime Street go to Victoria, not Piccadilly?
