Class 319's into storage/withdrawals tracker

[Class455]

It would be wonderful if you could and I would be very grateful

Consider it done! If there are any units I've missed out, please feel free to let me know and I'll correct/update the list.

 

[Class455]

Only one! 319454 which is in a poor old state. Its in Cauldwell at the moment. Was working with 001 this morning.

What about 319 384? Thats still in FCC colours or has that gone for storage?

 

[Islineclear3_1]

I think the latest TR reports 370/381/384 and 385 in store as I haven't seen them for a long time now so 454 is the last one in service to carry FCC livery (unless it has been stopped at Caudwell).

215 is my favourite unit; it was the first I photographed after conversion (in Connex days) and have fond memories of it when painted Southern green

Hoping 452 will be around for a while although I think this doesn't carry branding

 

[physics34]

i would a status list of all 319s to be posted here now. Someone get to work lol

I'll have a look when I get home.
There's still a chance to get 215. It mainly appears on Sutton loop, and has been paired with 319217 for a week (I saw them paired last week, still with TL logos but they have been removed within the past 7 days). 215 also became my new favourite after 319 218 departed in the summer.
Here is the shot I got of it at Wimbledon. https://www.flickr.com/photos/100198363@N02/33047839982/in/datetaken-public/

Thanks for this. In addition to what you have, I have 381/385/424/434/454/456/458 down as being at Wolverton, and 427 at Loughborough for the Flex project. This is from the info published on Today's Railways.

Thanks, have updated. 319 454 was still in service today though so hasnt gone yet.

Full list I have:

At Wolverton 319.004/005/424/431/434/442/448/450/456/458 for Northern

At Wolverton off lease: 370/381/385/454

at Long Marston: 319.214/451/453

So 384 still appears to be working for FCC but I haven't seen it for many weeks

454 is also still working. Saw it at Purley last Thursday and a picture was taken of it just three days ago. https://www.flickr.com/photos/139013110@N04/32358981993/in/datetaken/

Saw this one two days ago well it must have been if the last in fcc livery

Had the tl logos removed and first capital connect clearly visible if you know where to look

Speaking of fcc I womder if those kings cross thameslink posters will ever be taken down bit of retro there combined wit the original,thameslink colour scheme although that. Is still visible at radlett car park etc

My observations of de branded units are 372/216/217/454/459 iirc also saw 439 minus its logos as well think there is 2 more uid's running around.

I was driving 215 two days ago and it still had thameslink branding then?

I think they are all having the branding removed during maintenance.

Thanks looks that way

The thameslink logos looked pretty garish on them as they were so large so,I actually think they look smarter without

Knowing GTR, it'll probably be so the new ThamesLink logo can be applied...

 

[westcoaster]

Think 008 was one of the uid's.

 

[Islineclear3_1]

My last observation of 215 on 24/2 showed it had Thameslink branding

Well if you've seen it, then TR is wrong I guess. Disappointed in them, they're usually pretty on the ball on this stuff.

Just a heads up, you wrote 383 is at Wolverton, and I think you meant 381, as 383 is one of the original 20 Northern units.

 

[sd0733]

I was on 319422 one day last week and that also lost its branding.

 

[387star]

Still some /0 with original interiors !

 

[Class455]

319428 has also lost branding. Saw it at Wimbledon today.

 

[158722]

A couple of corrections, I think.

Thought it would be best to create a thread for this rather than clog up other Thameslink related threads about the 319's heading to storage. This thread is also to keep track of the 319's in storage

As has 319010. I've updated the list.

I have a question regarding the Stansted Airport - Birmingham New Street section. Are there any plans to electrify the whole route? I know its a long shot here. But I wonder if the Class 319's could be utilised on that working as 8 unit double units in peak times and 4 car sets when passenger use is lower?

Its just a thought or maybe a brain freeze moment on my part . But a 2 car Class 170 on that diagram is not sufficient for peak times when it becomes a toffee crisp moment.

Like many routes it did get an electrification priority in the 2009 electrification RUS, but AFAICS it would be done primarily on the back of the Felixstowe to Nuneaton freight route, rather than as a direct passenger route project

But whether or not the 2009 RUS is of any current relevance I just don't know...

 

[D365]

If the MML electrification had been completed by 2020 I would have suggested Felixstowe-Birmingham as a follow-on. However, we all know what's happened since.

If new rolling stock is proposed, I would suggest a follow-on order to the Greater Anglia Stadler bi-modes

 

[Islineclear3_1]

Loads of 319's debranded now. Looks like only a few still with TL branding

I swear they're supposed to be all gone by May/June?
Need to get as many 319's as I can on the Sutton loop before they go. 012 still had its branding on Friday.

 

[physics34]

dont understand why they dont just remove the branding when the units leave!

Something's going to Long Marston on Wednesday... http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K96064/2017/03/15/advanced
Which is followed by a move to Leics LIP... http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R91110/2017/03/15/advanced

 

[1179_Clee2]

319 448 has arrived at Allerton so is no longer stored at Wolverton

It also has Northern blue doors on a plain white livery, the same livery as 319450
