Class 319's into storage/withdrawals tracker

[sd0733]

Rode 319.008 and 447 today which will be gonners by next weekend. Guessing Cricklewood will be full of stored 319's once the resident 700s start earning their keep

I guess they'll be towed off to Long Marston pretty rapidly. Theres a path for Monday from Hornsey to Long Marston. Not sure if that's 319s but could be as theres a few Cricklewood to Hornseys in the system before then but they look more like 700 test paths to be honest.

Maybe there is more storage space at Hornsey?

Potentially there could be I guess now all the 317s and 321s are all gone.

When will 700s start working weekend Sevenoaks diagrams?

They are already working Sevenoaks services on a regular basis quite a few of our diagrams are 700's

Saw a pic of it just now. Updating the list.

 

[Techniquest]

Just 20

Cheers, that's more than I thought. Still a good chance of getting some 319 action in should I be able to find the money to pop down to London later this month then!

Apologies, I missed reading the 'weekend part' However, there should be some out today.

I'm glad I took a trip down to London when I did, that's all I can say...

Haven't seen a single 319 in service on the Catford Loop this morning (though 444 + another one are in Bellingham sidings)

I haven't ridden one for years, I'm pleased to say. The seats were the worst designed I have ever come across - impossible to sit without clashing knees against the person opposite.

Does this mean driver training is being stepped up?

 

[westcoaster]

Does this mean driver training is being stepped up?

Don't think it ever slowed down, more of get a heap of drivers trained before increasing diagrams, or be faced with cancellations due to no trained drivers.

Thanks for the gen! Can you confirm whether my records are correct in that the ones which will remain are:

319001/002/006/007/009/010/011, 319217/220, and 319426/432/435/436/440/443/444/445/446/449/459? Thanks.

An informed posting in another place says the four going off lease next weekend will take the total remaining with Thameslink down from 22 to 18. If that is correct then two of those you list must already have gone. I did have a question mark down against 432 & 445, but that is only because I have not seen them in recent weeks which of course is not the same thing as saying that they are off lease.

I saw 432 at City Thameslink on Saturday.
Can anyone confirm which 319's have departed for storage today?

Maybe related for this, I saw a Class 37 hauling at least 2 319s through Bletchley around 11:20 or so. Was too far away to get the numbers. Anyone know what they were?

319421 was one of them.

 

[Class455]

319421 was one of them.

Got it confirmed on the TOPS request thread that the other unit was 319 003. Therefore tomorrow it'll be 319 012 and 215

Cheers both, any change you can ID the 37 as well?

Thanks. At least this removes one of my question marks

37884 - it's the only one fitted with the new coupling for hauling these units.

Cheers pal! Really appreciate it.

 

[Class455]

319 012 and 319 215 should have departed today.

 

[Islineclear3_1]

319 012 and 319 215 should have departed today.

They did indeed...about 159min late departure presumably due to the line block at Bletchley that messed up the WCML earlier today (person hit by a train)

Do we know when the next move is?

 

[sk688]

Why is 319 455 being replaced at LM , just out of interest

Unreliability ?

Not 2020 compliant and London Midland were able to replace it with 433 which had been refurbished and was available for use.
