Travelling on a Down service from Northampton today (13/11) I noticed that 321 334 is back in the Up sidings, though at the North end of the 3 long term stored ones this time. It wasn't there last Wednesday (6/11) I don't think that this has been reported here already. There was also certainly one, and possibly more, 321s on the line behind (i.e. away from the running lines) the long term stored ones, but not possible to read the set number.

That's the unit that MCL Rail reportedly took ownership of. Clearly whatever they had in mind either didn't come to fruition or the unit served its purpose and is no longer required

I've got both of those units as having been moved for scrap on 03/12/24

Edit: not saying my info is some sort of oracle :lol: Just querying it!

They were moved from Wembley to Wolverton on 03/12 (for presumed component recovery?) and now heading to Newport Docks for scrapping

Fairly sure 321310 was the one at Wembley Yard they had a really bad air leak for a while. I’m guessing they’re clearing out Wembley so they can store the 350/2s there instead.
