Which vehicle from a class 321 unit has either gone for scrap or going to preservation maybe?
However 321321 has been at Ilford since August 2022 and hasn't moved. Unsure if 321321 is leaving Ilford coach by coach for scrap. However the identity of the ops.
Sighting on the low loader remains a mystery.

Sounds like it could possibly be 78154 from 321434 which has left Yarmouth for a filming contract.

A typo for 321321, I'm guessing.

You actually think a 323 was at Ilford? Typo, surely.
Yep, it was 434.
I hadn't imagined for a minute that they'd be splitting that up and shipping bits of it around the country on a low loader for that kind of work!
Any numbers pleaseRealtime Trains | 5H36 0947 Clacton C.S.D. to Db Cargo Fan A And B Sdgs | 05/05/2023

321309 as viewed at Camden Road Jn
Thanks
Is that the first admission that there is no future for the Renatus units?

No, hopefully there is, don't know about the Warrington ones, at least those in Wembley have the pans up, which appears they could have?.

Also just, wondering about 321321, since it's long period at Ilford since August 2022, according to a Facebook 321 page, awaiting parts, back around February this year, depending on how hard they are to get?.
Also 321306 was awaiting transformer Also since Summer last year, ie 321306 still at Wolverton. However we do have 28 still recently just out of service in very order.
Hopefully they Don't get withdrawn.

They’ve already been withdrawn - I hope they come back (with another operator).

How many are left with GA now?

On Moderation
None in service now.
I think the question was which units are still on the GA network, that is parked up at Clacton etc, not whether they are being used

I make it 305/307/308/311/312/314/320/321/326 that are still on GA metals, all withdrawn, at least one is at Ilford. 308/320 set leave Clacton on Friday*
*unless the move is cancelled of course.
Unless these units can be repurposed as bi-modes somehow then their future is looking grim. Though don't forget Great Northern have a tender out for 30 x 4 car units.
Any regular users of GN here? What would you prefer? 34 year old 321s with ironing board 3+2 seating or 379s? Do I actually need to ask?

I have changed the thread name as appropriate.
If you do, would you perhaps consider doing so somewhere else and not this thread, because I created it to be notified when a 321 is scrapped, and getting alerts just for people’s opinions on the class will become quickly tedious

Where are 308/320 going please?
They don't need to worry about the Renatus units appearing as they don't meet the specification in the tender.

It was half posted in jest; it certainly isn't my place to tell you not to ask about future ECML traction here, so let's just say it was a personal request or friendly suggestionWas 75% of my post not Class 321-related enough for you? Reported to Mods
Am I right in thinking no actual Renatus' have been scrapped yet?

Likely Wembley.
