Is 317652 still alive?

As far as I know 317650/652/658 are still in service although the number of 317s running has plummeted this week. Possibly snow damage?Is 317652 still alive?

A few months ago they got some ex prm compliant LO 326’s, which allowed some non prm compliant 317’s to go to Harwich International for storage. Some 379’s are being used to replace non compliant units to

722 still stored at Ely503,514,722 were scrapped
Also 317346 becomes the first ex-GN GA 317 to head for scrap
Sad to see 652 gone for scrap, had a nice ride on that between Cambridge and Liverpool Street back in December
317512 is still in traffic. It is one of 27 units that have had a universal access toilet installed. 317662 last ran on March 20th 2020. It did swap motor cars with 317661 and was then towed to Ely Papworth where it still resides.Could anyone tell me withdrawal dates for 317512 and 317662 (possibly reformed with the motor carriage of 317661?), and also whether these two units have been sent for scrapping - with dates, if poss. Many thanks.
