LNR reduced their fleet of units as the timetable had been reduced (no Watford shuttles for example) therefore there was no need for some of the units and they went off-lease.A pictures emerged on Facebook of a LNWR 319 being scrapped at Newport. Didn’t know this process has already begun. But premature I think as the 730s aren’t even in service yet
Do we know how many LNWR 319s are left?LNR reduced their fleet of units as the timetable had been reduced (no Watford shuttles for example) therefore there was no need for some of the units and they went off-lease.
Nothing to do with 730's.
All the remaining 319's are due to go off lease by January 2023.

10......Do we know how many LNWR 319s are left?
A knackered looking /2 was still at Burton on Friday.So most likely the ones from Burton Wetmore have gone by road to Newport Simms Docks For scrap after some useful components have been salvaged there first for spares then.

That’s the one. Can’t be long for scrap, although I say that and there’s dozens of long disused coaches still there such as the ScotRail Mk2s and some far older.319216 with a fresh livery courtesy of graffiti vandals
One of the 319s From Burton Wetmore.Passed 2 cars of an LM liveried unit (presumably one of the /2s) on lowloaders on the M42 earlier, heading SW in convoy.
Likeliest guess is that they're Newport-bound.
The number on the DTSO had been covered up/chopped out so I couldn't ID it.
And the other one (of two sighted on M42)?Twas coach 77314 reported from 319013
My records (probably out of date) have 319013, 319216, 319218 and 319460 at Burton on Trent.One of the 319s From Burton Wetmore.
Some components have been removed from the original Lm/LNWR 319 from there. Then are slowly coach by coach are going for scrap to Newport Simms from there as well by road.

No this is one of the 319's earmarked for Orion LogisticsMany thanks for that.
