I assume since it's a tour it's exempt from door colour regulations?Looks good.
Looking great.

Exactly what I was thinking, someone's not telling us something...Surely this will be preserved and not scrapped now
134 has low back seats, must be another carriage of 064Guess that is 134 then...

313047 was dispatched for scrap with 313051 on September 30th.Any news on 313.033,39,47,48,49,60,61 ?
When you look at the state some of them were in. 047 and 048 in particular with minimum attempts to keep paintwork tidy from graffiti attacks it is an insult to passengers tbh. Let’s paint a unit for a one of trip but not bother in front line services.Seems quite wasteful really to re-livery a unit for one trip and then cart it off to the scrapyard. A real shame they didn’t do this last year (adapted as required for modern regs) when the unit was in frontline service.

The others are still extant...somewhere.
Just a correction, 047 was not dispatched for scrap but sent to Ferme Park, where earlier this week it was supposed to move with 033 & 060 to Hertford North CS, the units made the move before returning to Hornsey, where they remain in situ.
037 & 051 went for scrap on the 30/09/19.
033/039/047/060/061/064 & 134 all remain with Hornsey.
And 048/49?
White really highlights the corrosion at the bottom, doesn't it?Not quite as nice but..
Is 134 being reliveried for the tour?Sorry knew I missed a pair, they're sitting in Hornsey on the same road 134 is being prepared on.

I guess it was deliberate the more run done the 313s the more grateful we should appear for any replacement.

Well they have to do it on the 717s and 700s so why not? No need to deliberately make the trains look shabby....or it was just pointless to repeatedly pay money to repair vandalism again and again....?

Of course the obvious response is they should have done something about the units being vandalised as much as they were!
at the risk of a slight going off topic, the amount of trains being graffitied is reminiscent of the 1980s!
I have a spare ticket available tomorrow’s tour, would anyone be interested for face value.
Hiya, please message me. Thanks
