Makes sense.
Which would require Newcastle crews to sign them. Barely worth the time and effort.
I know, I know. Just wishful thinking on my part.
Was one on the triangle routes to, seen at Shipley on 2D72 1716 Bradford to Ilkley. Only saw it from a far so not sure wether it was a 321 or 322.
Is there nowhere to store them closer to their actual operating area? Surely there's space at Doncaster rather than having to ferry them down from Newcastle in a pinch?
they has 3 321's for leeds doncaster they kept at neville hill. that was before aire/wharfe valley electrification.
Wrenthorpe loop? 333s lived there when first delivered. Two full-length (IC225 set size) sidings there with overheads in place, shove them down the Leeds end and they'll still be available for turning the training runs...
Surely it would make more sense to use 314s once they have been displaced by 385s??
No, because:
I hear both 321 901 and 902 were to go to warm store at Heaton to release much needed siding space. 902 didn't go as there still short of working emus.
321s, 322s and 320s i would argue are life expired too so why they are even being considered being kept when really they need to go to scrap
The Northern 321/322s are PRM-ready, something which can't be said for a large chunk of their sister units at Greater Anglia. Scotrail's 320s have all had heavy overhauls in the last few years so should have plenty of life in them.
Then that same argument can be applied to most older trains then? Not just the 32x’s
I think it's random Leeds-Doncaster and Airedale/Wharfedale diagrams. Considering its Northern any scheduled diagram would go out of the window anyway.
