Class 321 storage/scrapping

[robert west]

321330 now has its pantograph down, but the unit is still in the same location

at 1840 hours tonight it had gone

 

[warwickshire]

321304 is in the road adjacent to platform 4 at clacton

As of Monday 09th January 2023 today at Clacton around 1200 to 1300 321304 was replaced by 321314. Is 321304 being decommissioned in the shed and locked out of view I wonder?
Also 321313 worked back to Ilford from Clacton via Colchester Csd today as well However also observed at Clacton on the car park side of it one carriage was covered in graffiti. Maybe going back to Ilford E.M.U.D for graffiti removal? Maybe 321313 is safe for know?

 

[TrainTrackJack]

5V95 Ilford - Long Marston tomorrow (11th).... Any relation? Wouldn't think so as LM is a porterbrook site.

 

[warwickshire]

Tuesday 10th January. 5Q50 2217 Colchester Csd to Ilford E.M.U.D possible 321330 could be on it's way to Ilford E.M.U.D and needs assistance to get there for decommissioning etc.
However apparently 37601 and the Van's are already on site at Colchester csd. To move possibly 321330 later on.
However 321330 was in the yard at Colchester earlier with pan up.
Presumably yesterday another 321 moved it or maybe it Coasted there as reported by a op above. Ref movement.
However if so future not good for 321330. Can actually remember 321330 failing middle of November 2022.and requiring rescue then got dumped at Colchester for a awhile. However 321330 failure believe totally disabled it.
Moves shown on www.realtimetrains.co.uk and old live rail record. However 30 mph Colchester to Ilford. For Tuesday 10th January 2022 move tonight.
However answer to op above believe move in question is to get Van's Long Marston for a 196 move to Tyesley later on Wednesday 11th January 2023.

How many 321's have been withdrawn in total? (Renautus units)

 

[87015]

Looks like down to a single 8-car in use for yesterday evenings Liv St peak

 

[Class360/1]

321319 is note in the siding next to platform 5 at Colchester North station

 

[St. Paddy]

304/317 have moved to Wembley for storage according to Mr Clinnick

 

[Wivenswold]

Are there still diagrams for the 321s on the Waltons or are they just filling-in? There was one in Platform 5 when I was at Colchester yesterday morning.
Just missed the 0647 CLT-LST yesterday morning, didn't get the unit numbers but that appeared to be a 12 car. Rather hoping that will still be a 321 diagram when I'm next in the office in a couple of weeks.

It was still there earlier. I was fortunate to have 314 and 315 on the 12:06 Colchester - London today.

 

[warwickshire]

Saturday 14th January 2022 321303 took 321330 from Ilford E.M.U.D to Clacton Csd. For further Storage before decommissioning at Clacton before another move in due course to Wembley for storage.
1. 1530 5F03 Ilford E.M.U.D to Colchester.
2. 1658 5N58 Colchester to Clacton csd.
However 321303 and 321330 are in Clacton shed for decommissioning ready for onwards moves in due course to Wembley. Also they will be joining 321325..
Briefly for now same day Saturday also saw 3 pairs of class 321s out all day on Geml.
Sadly throughout all the working week last week it appears the all day diagrams have gone as there wasn't any apart from the branches all day. However it appears Saturdays could be a good day.
However 321325 321303 321330 are at Clacton undergoing decommissioning ready for move to Wembley. Like the recent ones in which have departed the same way.

Will that be 321321 the one parked up for some time. Since early autumn Sep 2022. The one with the broken pantograh. At Ilford.
Also 321306 at Wolverton ie IS still awaiting transformer. Also was informed back in Mid October 2022.
321306 321321 will never ever run again.

I'm reliably informed that 306 & 321 are now off-lease. So that's now nine Renatus units; 21 to go and some of those don't appear (based on Trainlogger reports) to have worked so far this month. The end is nigh.

An utter waste of an expensive refurb !!
The Anglian refranchise was really quite amazing

 

[JonathanH]

An utter waste of an expensive refurb !!

They got over five years of use out of them and it met the PRM requirement. Not entirely a waste.

Wow - has it been five years - seems like just last year !!!!

 

[tnxrail]

Any chance of them running sunday, if so where most likely.

Very sad to see yet another class nearing it's end with now only one daylight working on the main line. Do you by any chance have the SO workings please

 

[JonathanH]

Basically 10 to 12 720s away from 321s being done then?

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

It would appear then, that the only remaining Class 321 operated services out of London Liverpool Street are:

0523 Clacton-on-Sea
1018 Clacton-on-Sea
2048 Braintree
0006 Southend Victoria

 

[robert west]

It was still there earlier. I was fortunate to have 314 and 315 on the 12:06 Colchester - London today.

gone today

 

[Railperf]

Seemingly a few 321s out today

 

[Travellin’man]

Seemingly a few 321s out today

From following "tiger" today 09.02 and 09.36 LST/IPS where both 2 x 321 and after return from IPS worked 12.36 to IPS and 13.18 Clacton returning from Clacton at 15.05. Does anyone know if that is likely to be the pattern next Saturday please

[delticdave]

Are they still out Wickford - Southminster for tomorrow or anywhere.

I did note that both units were 321's at South Woodham on Friday 20.01.'23. (15 44 eastbound & 1556 westbound.)

Yesterday, (Saturday 21st) same times & location but both units were 720's.

HTH, David C.

 

[adc82140]

Does anyone know what the plan is for all those 321/3s parked at Wolverton? Is the Swift parcels thing still happening?
