Looks like the first Southern class 313 has been scrapped

The rules for that group - there are some truly unhinged people in this hobby o_O :lol:

Does it state which 313 has been scrapped?

The same photo is in the class 313 appreciation society on fb now. I believe it’s 214

A private Group, un-viewable.

I think it was tongue in cheek - they also aren't that crazy versus some of the rules you see in genuine Facebook groups!

Any news on preservation of 313201 or is it destined to become baked bean tins?

Quite high, it was never planned to run today. The 'Q' paths are for Tuesday's and Wednesdays to allow for flexibility

Does anyone know if any 313 at the scrap yard are still visible from Campbell Road?
Saw it on google map, but it was in March, so I don't know if the first 3 units were moved during the time.

They’re edging ever closer to the scrap road, 214 now appears to have various bits removed when I saw it last night. Just a line of tankers in front.

Not easily no. The Raxstar part is very much towards the end of the main shed / site, with various buildings and items of stock in the way. Anyway, it looks like 202 will be next.

Scary.

What’s a “Noddy” in the trainspotting context? Not heard that one before.

That Facebook group is certainly seriously weird! One presumes it is mainly frequented by people at the younger end of the age spectrum.
I have no idea, but based on other groups I am aware of that are run by grown adults, I wouldn't automatically assume it to be youngsters running it
