Oldest complete set of multiple units still in service

[61653 HTAFC]

Class 318? Class 320?

The 320s are an interesting one, as that class has actually gained numbers with the 321 conversions!

Impressive that all the 313s have made it - Especially given how many years they've been in service!

Does 950001 count even though its technically a 150/1.

One could make a case for the two 150 prototypes...

Has to be the 313,s. Class intact , nothing older with all units intact

4022 was scrapped last year after a shunting mishap

It's not been scrapped, it's at Bristol Barton Hill depot https://www.flickr.com/photos/dshtrains/40116501490

All 90 Metrocars still survive.

I had read it had in a number of places but ok.

Certainly withdrawn from service though

It's definitely out of action long term (has been for at least a year now), but has it been confirmed as permanently withdrawn yet? (I've not seen anything to suggest that it has)

313121 is no longer a passenger unit though, being an NR ETCS test unit so depends if counting passenger service or not.

I would argue it is still in service as it is active, albeit not in passenger service

It’s certainly not been withdrawn from railway use in any sense.

I saw 313121 today, and it was operating on its old North London line haunts! Even blinded for a Custom House to Gospel Oak service, which would be an interesting journey now

Class 318? Class 320?

318254 appears to have a death wish though. First it drove down Largs High Street, then it overturned leaving Exhibition Centre siding.
