Does anyone know the location of 321.331 please? Assuming it is in store somewhere

321.343 doesn't look as though it's moved from Clacton; still parked in the same place as 3 weeks ago, however, it's pan is up

321.327 and another Renatus unit was in the back road at Clacton with its pan down. Does this mean the Renatus units are starting to be stood down?

I can't imagine any of the Renatus units being stood down until all of the non-PRM ones are gone unless there was something seriously wrong with them that made it unecenomical to keep them running. Not uncommon for electric trains to pan down whilst stabled if there's an overhead line isolation for whatever reason.

321327 was with 325 on Wednesday in service so it must be a fault of some sort

As was 321331 which was out all day Wednesday. Unsure where it us now but it is still active

OK thanks. Every time I wish to see this unit, it isn't out. Just my bad luck!

321331 was out yesterday attached to 321322.

I'm guessing, the non-PRM '321's won't be in service after December 2021. Is this still correct/the current plan?

As of now thats when their allowance ends

Weirdly there are a pair of 321’s in warm store at Colchester, one of which is a Renatus.

Did you get the number?

 

[Shunter_69]

Nope. It’s the pair on the Bridge Road by P5 though.

Oh ok, must have seen it. Coupled up to a fcc unit?

That’s the one

315 and 410

 

[Class360/1]

That’s the one

315 and 410

Wonder why they are in the sim bin though?

 

[Shunter_69]

Maybe just saving a few quid in rental costs until the enhanced timetable starts later in the month?

 

[Class360/1]

went trainspotting at Colchester this afternoon and saw a notice on 315. Couldn’t really make it out but is said something along the lines of ‘cleaning staff must not use the local door’

 

[Shunter_69]

I thought those signs say you shouldn’t split them without consent from engineering.

Correct they do.

Sorry, not been keeping up with this. Is there a list of those that have been withdrawn please or can someone point me towards a list if one exists? Many thanks.

The list is in this thread if you search for it….

 

[Islineclear3_1]

Several have been stopped/warm store. I don't think there is an up-to-date list of these

I'm trying to keep on top of it here - https://www.ukraillog.co.uk/313-322

The warm store stuff is hard to keep up to date with though as they go in and out of service as needed and unless someone is willing to camp at Harwich, some won't be reported until seen in service or parked up!

Many thanks, was hoping didn't have to trawl through this thread!

Having not been on the GEML which seems like an age, it’s looking now like the 321’s (non-renatus) are becoming more and more sparse and I’ve seen at least 3 coupled renatus’s.

I'm sure I saw a double 322 or 322+321/9 last week heading to Colchester as well.

However before they do which is any time now till November 2021 ie the non prm 321 especially.
Best advice get them in asap.
Because between September 2020 and then during the back end off November 2020.
Saw a gradual withdrawal off Pacers.
Even then ran somedays and not others.
Then came a prompt end.
However back to the non prm 321s.
Get them in now whilst you can especially during the final month now.
Off daylight also till around 1900 hours or so.
And to avoid any bitter disappointment.
Don't leave the non prm 321s to the Last possible minute.
Or history repeats itself again.
