153314 was working a train to Lowestoft on the 5th December before the storm started. It wasn't safe for the train to go back to Norwich, so the train was left at Lowestoft and the crew were taxied back.

314 was up to its body in salt water, which has knackered the wheelsets, engine and electrics. It sat at Lowestoft for the best part of 7 days.

It was tripped back to Norwich just before Christmas at 5mph by 156417. It's planned to be tripped over to Dereham on the Mid Norfolk for removal by road to Doncaster for works. It should then go to Wolverton for its overhaul- relivery etc.

Here is a photo of 153314 at Lowestoft shortly after the waters had subsided.

Would anyone happen to know the re-livery dates for each of the 315s treated so far? Is it displayed beside the internal couplers? This information or the dates they went back into traffic would be very useful to me.

153314 moved to Doncaster for flood damage repairs. It should come back via Wolverton for relivery.

156417 went to Wolverton today for repaint and spruce up.

Is 170461 currently being repainted or 170478? or are they refurbishing one of the 170s which recieved scotrail saltire livery at the launch?

I understand the first refurbished class 318 is due back very soon

Meanwhile less than 10 334s remaining in the old livery
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Am I right ScotRail have retained the wales and borders interior of ex wessex 158s and ex south west trains 158s?

I believe some units recieved replacement plain purple seat covers

I believe 170461 is currently being refurbished, no word.on the expected release date. 478 is still in full SPT attire. 170433 and 434 still have original scotrail interiors, 433 still in barbie livery but, oddly, saltire seat covers. 434 was vinyled for the launch so I suspect that will be the last to be completed.

The first 318 is estimated o be returned on Monday 17/02, but I'll believe that when I see it
