NXEA 321s

[MCR247]

What GE routes do they run on?

Any help appreciated

 

[Daniel]

Mainly London-Southend Vic

 

[MCR247]

Thanks Do they often run to Clacton/Walton?

 

[Voyager 2093]

They run to Norwich and Ipswich on occasions.

 

[Daniel]

No problem .

I believe those services are usually class 360s.

 

[Jordy]

I thought Walton services were 321s? There were the last time I used them but that was a while back!

They also do the Southminster

The 360s are mostly used on London - Harwich Town/Clacton-on-Sea services. Class 321s work London - Southend Victoria/Braintree services, as well as Colchester - Walton-on-the-Naze services, and the London - Harwich International boat trains.

Not sure about the Shenfield - Southminster services, I think these are Class 315s (could be wrong)? The through services from London are 321s though.

As CeliaDrummond says the 321s do more or less all;

London - Southend (odd peak 315 to Southend)
London/Shenfield - Southminster
London - Braintree

They also do a fair percentage of (shared with the 360's)

London - Clacton
London - Harwich
Walton Shuttles

They can also occasionally be found covering for Class 90 + Mk 3
(360's aren't cleared past Ipswich)

They also can occasionally turn up on a Liv St - Shenfield Metro service if short on 315s

 

[NXEA!]

London Liverpool Street-Southend Victoria/Southminster/Braintree which are exclusively worked by 321's apart from an out and back 315 turn on the Southend line the following are shared with 360's: London Liverpool Street-Witham/Colchester/Clacton/Walton/Harwich/Ipswich, Colchester-Colchester Town and Walton-Colchester Town. They can occasionally substitute for 90's+Mk3's to Norwich, 170's to Lowestoft/Peterborough as far as Ipswich and 315's on Metro services. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all of the replies

Unless you go in peak, or shoulder peak hours you'll only really find them on Southend/Southminster/Braintree services. There is an afternoon turn Liv St-Harwich but they only really get let loose on the mainline during the rush hours, and at weekends they can be out on all day mainline diagrams due to engineering work.

I've seen 321s doing the romford - upminster 'shuffle' on some occasions... I think that counts as a GE route

 

[MCR247]

Yeah, I was on a silverlink one before

 

[SqUaShIe P]
