321 at Cheshunt

[delt1c]

321.324 passed Cheshunt today at 15.05 southbound. It was in the New livery and appeared to be ECS , does anyone know where it had been. have to admit it made a change from the staple diet of 315 and 317 and reminded me of the early days when 321's were regular performers when new.

It was on its way back to Ilford after being at Wabtec Doncaster for is C6X overhaul (including re-livery)

Yeah, what they said.

"Bins" have been turning up on the WA for a few months now. They would normally run via the NLL to pick up the ECML by Finsbury Park, but the NLL upgrades mean that AC traction cannot use that section of the route. Consequently, FL are running drags from Stratford onto the GOBLIN route at South Tottenham and unit moves between Ilford and the ECML are being routed up the WA via Cambridge.

As well as NX "Bins" there have also been light "Skodas", FCC "Bins" and FCC Networker drags using FCC Cl317's.
