Does anyone kindly know what next for 321301 321324 will they go to Wolverton in due course. Or possible elsewhere for any use. Or Withdrawal?

They were planned to be converted to batteries, before Vivarail went bust.

Was it Vivarail overseeing that? I thought they were solely working on D Stock.

Are these the two I saw in Wembley Yard yesterday? Pans up and at least one fitter on when I went past.

Eversholt had signed an agreement with Vivarail to develop a battery conversion of the Renatus units. If my memory serves, there's a thread somewhere. (I suspect Vivarail also had further projects in the works)

There were lots of renatus units out and about yesterday (24/12).
Unfortunately it looks like 321330 may have picked up some graffiti in its siding.

Do the Renatus units run on services stopping at Romford on Saturdays?
If so, I feel like riding one in March, although I realise withdrawals may well be underway by then.

Yes, units cycle Ipswich / Colchester / Clacton on a Saturday, and the Colchester trains stop at Romford, so eventually all the units stop at Romford at some point in the day.
Withdrawals are already underway.

I thought as much. In particular, thank you for preparing me that some are already being withdrawn now.

Anyone know when 343 moved to Wolverton please? My last record is it entering warm store in May 2021
but I presume it is now off lease?Also, is there still a conversion project of some sort ongoing at Wolverton with all of these units?

340 + 343 ran under their own power Clacton to Wolverton on 21-01-2022, according to my notes.

Ie 321304 was in early December 2022. Did mention it elsewhere up thread at Clacton. However was parked way down the yard at Clacton at the buffers.
Opposite the shed out of sight for a photo only visible when entering the station in the distance by zoom in lens.
However at the time back then a photo was most certainly not possible
Since then could well be in the shed awaiting its next trip of fate.

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.
