In service as reported a few times on the non prm thread.
However non prm units don't have set diagrams on 321 diagrams.
Anything can turn up ie pot luck.
However the non prm 321 thread has any sightings.

It was in service yesterday. See my thread on twilight 321 workings. It was on the Southends

Little to report from Clacton today. The only non-PRM units I saw were 333 and 423. The former was moved to the Top Siding but there was a lot of shunting around with other units. I could not see what was in the depot as it was screened by a 322 and a Renatus behind it.

Thought they were being converted into parcel trains not parcels themselves

I don't know for certain but I believe 321.334 was the first one done
On another thread, it states 332, 407, 419, 428 and 429 are at Wolverton so these are possibilites but not certain
I assume the units will be checked for condition and be swapped around with those currently stored at Gasgoigne Wood unless the rot/corrosion being out in open store has set in already
I do not know of a definative list, units - even coaches can get swapped around

You can only access it from the fence of the car wash and trespassing on the tracks. Perfectly clean, pan up and tail lights on

424 is sandwiched in between 302 & 328 on this evenings 2000 Liverpool St - Harwich service, a rare recent 12 car 321 working me thinks.

I had a journey on 321409 between Romford and Colchester on Saturday afternoon (the 1536 from Liverpool Street), didn't get the number of the Renatus unit it was coupled to, but as this was almost certainly the last time I'd catch a non-compliant Dusty Bin I didn't really care 
. Will definitely miss these on the GEML, a good solid train doing its job without complaint.
The toilets were an absolute shambles though, the doors were warped and couldn't even be shut, let alone locked, and the flush didn't work. Mind you, given it probably doesn't have more than a few weeks left, I'm guessing Abellio aren't too bothered.

Doors, depending on their material can bend out of shape due to many factors, but usually extreme temperature changes or misuse by passengers
Have all the remaining 321's left Parkeston? Presume they have.

Yes they left end off April early may 2021.
However unless any more off the most recent x22 survivors have only just been stored there in the past fortnight or so??.

Last time I went on 321409, the doors had no problem

You don’t need a crystal ball to know what coach the toilets are in on one of the non PRM 321s….
