yes
Yes all the Northern units work randomly with any other 321. The 322s ran in multi with 317s back in the day.

How long ago was that?
20 odd years ago. See photo at Ipswich below. The 322s also did peak trains to Peterborough with 317s after they got kicked off Stansted Express by the 317/7s but I can't find any photos.

On a related note, just watched a Renatus 321 coupled to an ex-LO 317/7 pass through Shenfield. That was an odd pairing!

No, an ECS movement from Ilford depot to Witham and back. I'm not sure what its purpose is.
