Another planet...
Toilets are a problem on several types of train. The 317s are similar and recently I travelled on various 377/2 and 377/6 all of which had every toilet out of use.
Well, it's usually the tanks that are the problem rather than the toilets. That, and diagrams weren't modified to take into account the new limitation on range that the waste tanks create compared to the effectively infinite range of a toilet that just dumps on the track.

The Renatus and ex-Northern units are likely to be around for the best part of 2022. There's still 94 Class 720s waiting to enter service.

Have updated my 321 statistic chart on Microsoft Excel.

Please let me know if anything is incorrect.

i think 437 is to be used for hydrogen conversion not just off lease.
437 was scrapped a while ago at Rotherham - not sure if only part of it was used by Alstom though.
My notes have
  • 63131 and 78306 at Lackenby along with 321448 for hydrogen work
  • 78157 cut at Booth Roe, Rotherham
  • 72017 at an unknown location
Happy to be corrected!

nameplates on 321336 “Geoffrey freeman Allen” and 321343 “railway study association (RSA)” have been removed so these units are 100% scrap

what 321's are actually still in service, not just being in warm store?
It’s hard to say, because they’re going to be taken out of service almost every few days between now and the middle of next month - and then many of even the operational ones probably will be left unallocated where possible as they’re trying to wind down operation of them across the next month - non PRM that is. Obviously 301-330/901-903 remain for at least the next four or five months, but you know that I would guess.

Hard to say as units are being cycled in and out of warm store/service (and I've made one or two wrong guesses...). However, my reckoning is that the following are still "serviceable/usable":

331/333/335/336/337/338/339/342/343/406/409/421/423/424/426/427/430/433/434/436

I saw 340/341 in the top down siding at Clacton last weekend and suspect these have been stood down...but again, I could be totally wrong.

Edit: 336 and 343 may have been stood down as per post above re removal of nameplates
