This page have been quiet a while, anyone have updates on the 350/2? Thanks

 

[SCDR_WMR]

I imagine there will be more units removed from service once the first 730/2s have bedded in, maybe end of the month

Thanks updated

It looked like there were at least 11 units at Wembley yesterday, 6 on the front road with five behind.

In service with LNR today are 232/7/9/41/2/3/6/7/8/9/50/2/4/7/8/9/260/1/2/3/4/7 (22)

233, 234 and 235 have all been out of service recently, and it is two of those which could have moved south yesterday. I'll try and confirm.

What’s the 11 at Wembley? Thanks

 

[Silverlinky]

Just spotted 233 pan down on King's Heath Depot

Yes, 233 is still there and 234/5 have left the building.

By my reckoning..... 231, 234, 235, 236, 238, 240, 244, 245, 251, 253 and 255.

thanks so 234 235 is the most recemt down？

 

[Silverlinky]

They were both shown on Kings Heath at the weekend but are not on the list now, so it looks like the 5Z17 move was those units.

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: 18 Jun 2025 ==

There is another move in the system for a 350 move, 5J70 1247 Northampton Kings Heath to Wolverton on Friday.

thanks so the one on Friday is also 350 for off lease?

 

[Silverlinky]

Units have moved to Wolverton in the past for end of lease work, so it may be off lease already (233?) or another one being prepared to depart.

Thanks, seems their process is starting to ramp out now, due to the 730/2 coming out already

 

[lrbvoyager]

Anyone know what TOC they are going to?

 

[JonathanH]

Anyone know what TOC they are going to?

No, there has been no announcement.

The speculative thread is here.

Future of the 350/2s

With the class 730s introduction into service imminent, and plans announced for everything they're replacing, nothing has been announced for the 350/2s. What do you think could happen to them?

[BucksBones]

Feeling the effects of this today, a succession of 4 carriage Bhm - London trains.....crush loaded and nobody able to board either the 1017 or the 1047 at Leighton Buzzard. As a layman I fail to see the logic behind letting trains go when their replacements are not yet in service.

One suspects the stored examples maybe heading to a storage facility with EPR in the not too distant future.

The replacements are in service, around 10 350/2s were able to go off lease when 730/0s were introduced on the Walsall-Wolverhampton and Chase Line services, and a further 2 will have been displaced by the pair of 730/2s diagrammed in the week. A further 2 730/2s are expected to enter service on an all day diagram on Monday.

There’s been lots of disruption these last two days so it’s natural that units will have been displaced.
