Are 315 859 and 321426 still OOS?

London Midland are keeping more of their 321s for longer than originally expected then.

To confirm 321411-417 are in traffic with LM and in LM livery now. Thejunction is not so up to date on the livery listings section

859 came back into service a while back.

Didn't even realise 426 was OOS, but as far as I know it's in service. I'm sure I saw it stabled in the down sidings at Shenfield last weekend.

I meant 321346 sorry. 321446 is the grotty sole 'one' liveried train with a different shade of metallic with the ends a lighter shade to cover the rainbow. The sole 'one' 2 car class 170 liveried train is in this state too.

321346 is still OOS. It was moved to Clacton a while back with a view to being put back together.

321436 is an ex LM one, now in all over white I think- that or NX silver.

321446 is the one in "one" livery which looks an absolute state. And the 170 also in the dark blue "one" livery is 170270- which looks equally as bad!

315850 was last used in autumn 2008. I hope they get that one back on the running rails soon - it's been a fair old while!

What I do find surprising is that they haven't repainted their 315s yet. I know they had 317s in the debranded 'one' livery and they did get repainted, but on the whole the 315s are in poor external condition.

I have heard somewhere that due to their franchise running out early next year, only the 317s & 321s are being repainted. No more repaints are being done to the diesel fleet (aside from 156419 in full NX white & grey colours and 156402 in Chapelfield Shopping Centre advertising livery with NX stickers covering up where it used to say 'one' in very small letters, all 153/156/170s are in a curious mix of either Central Trains, Anglia or ex-'one' livey).

360115 was revinyled into full NX white & grey when the rebranding took place but all the others are still in First Group bule with NX white stripe. The blue paint is vandal-proof so can only be removed with a sander and cannot be painted on top of (graffiti proof paint - yes!) so the 360s will remain in these colours as 360115 was only done as it was part or the comapny launch, which was a publicity stunt effectively.

I get the impression that NXEA don't care about the 315s, as all remain in the ex-'one' livery, although I think it suits them rather well.

A couple of 90s have been repainted into NX white & grey colours and 1 full coaching rake has been done, although this has since swapped bufet cars with another coaching set for some reason as it had an ex-'one' buffet car and an ex-'one' set has an NXEA buffet car. The writing on the car closest to the loco seems to have run as there is blue paint smeared down the side of the coach and it doesn't say National Express anymore there.

321446 has the worst intentional (i.e. not graffiti) paint-job of any train I have ever seen in public service and I hope to god it gets repainted next.

I should imagine that it'll be one of the last ones to be done as it was the most recent one to have been reliveried (before NX started doing them in silver/White). Agreed that it really does look shockingly bad! If you look at the ends of the carriages, they're still grey from FGE livery. Also, the 321's are being reliveried in numerical order (or as close to numerical as they can be). 351-366 still need doing (and 346 which is long term dud at Clacton), and then 438-445 before 446, and 447 & 448. Personally, I'd be surprised if 446 gets done before next February. They may surprise us and send it up to Donny. Who knows...

Regarding the 315's, I believe the reason they've not been done, because under "one", they were the last units to be refurbished, and quite a heavy refurbishment at that, so they're not due a C6X. Quite how that's worked when the 317's have been done, I don't know.

Yes I believe the 317/5s in particular were treated to a repaint several times in a row

Wonder they concentrate on the class 43 which has been recently repainted? There are still lots of mk4s to do they are not even half way through yet?

Rail suggests the EMT set will be repainted at a later data and hints at more work?
