I've just heard (though I'm a staggering 8 days late to this) that D345 has been withdrawn from the mainline temporarily due to a "recurring power fault" - can't find any mention of this on the site. This feels like its been a long time coming as the loco's engine sounded very rough on the most recent Pathfinder's charter it worked. See below a screenshot I've found elsewhere of the CFPS Members Group post confirming this.
