Oh I just wanted to double check, because the doors I saw on 409 were the motor coach and 1st class coaches and they were in perfect working condition

You do realise the reference was about the doors to the toilets, not the external doors? At least that’s how I read it.

I’m pretty sure they’re not the toilet doors though…… (You may wish to read the post again!).

No, you are still not getting it! We are not referring to the external doors, but the doors internally directly to the toilet itself.

I see my anecdotal post about the toilets on 321409 has caused much merriment in this thread. 
I was sitting in the motor coach but certainly not filming the journey, however I did run to the toilets between Marks Tey and Colchester to smarten myself up for the Christmas party I was about to attend...which is where I discovered the toilet doors (NOT THE SLIDING EXTERNAL DOORS TO REMOVE ANY DOUBT) wouldn't shut or lock. Could have been me.

At least the toilet doors on the class 315s work, none stick . . . . .I see my anecdotal post about the toilets on 321409 has caused much merriment in this thread.

However seeing as this is the withdrawal thread for 321s .
How about holding a tribute to the withdrawal for the toilet on 321409.
After all it is being withdrawn soon anyway

Rather than the door being warped, I would suspect grit or litter stuck in the runner somewhere and jamming it a bit...I see my anecdotal post about the toilets on 321409 has caused much merriment in this thread.

Don't forget earlier on in the year.
It was the hustle alarms ie the door closing noise as well. 321427.
Wonder iff they are still available.
Even better to chime wee auld lang syne from 321427 hustle alarm.
Whilst having a wee on 321409 toilet at midnight. With both units parked alongside at London liverpool Street.
As these 321s see in the new year 2022 in style off not being withdrawn. .
However back on thread interesting to see what early 2022 brings ie iff any early on do go for scrap.

Already been given hahadon’t give him ideas…
Yes the wider range of beeps the better. Cant wait to film the door opening video.If the door doesn't shut, an occupant might get a shock when the door swings open with @class321 streaming his latest door opening video!
Different kinds of beeps might be needed
