5 Class 350s Flood Damaged

[Tilting007]

Noticed a lot of Trent Valley cancellations this morning on RTT, all overrunning engineering works or unknown reason, is this due to a lack of 350s?

Works on OLE at Bourne End overran nearly 4hrs after damage was found over one UF - DS crossovers

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: 15 Dec 2024 ==

Line is blocked near Polesworth, due a damaged overhead stanchion, caused by a slight landslip over the weekend

New support is built in the Up TV slow line, with works including building a wider embankment and installing a whole new OLE stanchion.

Loosing track of what the situation is with these, cany anyone confirm, how many 350's are out of traffic with flood damage and how many off lease 350/2s have been put back into service?

Looking at allocations today, those not in service today are....

350231 no allocation
350233 flood damage
350236 Stabled OoS Camden
350238 believed Kings Heath (non-multi restriction)
350240 off lease (Rugby)
350242 flood damage
350244 off lease (Willesden)
350245 stabled OoS Camden
350247 depot repairs Kings Heath
350251 off lease (Wolverton?)
350253 off lease (Rugby)
350254 flood damage
350259 exam Kings Heath
350264 gearbox failure Crewe LNWR

350231 and 255 seem to be the off lease units which have been pushed back into service to cover for the flood damaged units.

Presume 251 is under warranty repairs like 236 was? Unsure if it will come back though

Thanks, that clears things up!

Any idea about the /1 or /3 that was damaged?

113 and 377 were due to have a short run from the depot to the station and back again today as 5H77, don't think it happened though.

It's odd because all the aerial views I have seen show the rail heads above the water in the sidings and only a little below in the platforms. Allowing for those photos being taken during flood level reduction, it seems strange that the water was so high as to affect delicate elements. So be it...

There was a 5H77 today that ran from Northampton EMD to Northampton Up Sdgs (via the station) and back again but not sure what was on this working so could've been those units?

These photos from the bay platform show how high above railhead level the water rose to.

And the through platforms the water was up to the top of platform wasn’t it?

350377 which was a flooding casualty was today shunted onto Northampton kings heath depot by 37901 I believe this was one of the hidden ones behind the 321 units

Very muddy !. Looks to be above the axle, so would have affected the brakes, bearing and motors imho ?. And any underslung cabinets ?.
