Do not rely upon what RTT says for which end is which for a ScotRail HST. RTT also sometimes projects times forward - in this case to Arbroath. Traksy currently shows 5A37 static at Broughty Ferry - on the up line, although it may actually be on the down. Facebook reports say that Fire...

Confirming Graham H's report, a couple of updated photos from Campbell Road Fence. 313205 in the siding of doom, and 313206 now partially anonymised, and apparently next in line. No other apparent movements. https://www.47soton.co.uk/2023/09/class-313-update-eastleigh-works-15th.html 1695198117...

Although it's only a couple of days since I last updated, I have been inside Eastleigh Works today, on an organised ICRS visit. Class 313 disposal at Eastleigh Works, full status, 7th September 2023 - alll photos shown were taken from public locations on Campbell Road. All units currently in...

I have just posted an update from the fence in Campbell Road, Eastleigh.

I've been to the fence at Eastleigh Works this Sunday afternoon. My assessment of the scrap queue is working on an assumption that 3 coaches have been scrapped in the past week. If anyone knows otherwise, please advise! https://www.47soton.co.uk/2023/07/class-313-observations-eastleigh-works.html

Thanks, I already note 211's number on a picture from Tuesday, and have made the corrections.

From the Eastleigh fence today: "Since Sunday, the remaining coaches of 313220 have been disposed of, and the first coach of 313207. 313209 and 313204 remain in the same position, 313217 has been pulled forward. The final arrivals were 313205 and 313211 on the 11th, the former being visible."...

I went past Eastleigh yesterday. It appears that 313220 is part way through the disposal, to be followed by 313207 and 313204. From its position, 313209 may follow from them. https://www.47soton.co.uk/2023/07/class-313-update-eastleigh-works-9th.html

Another update, for today, from the Eastleigh Works fence. 313204 and 313207 have now had their numbers flame cut away. https://www.47soton.co.uk/2023/07/class-313-update-eastleigh-works-5th.html

I was at the fence at Eastleigh Works this morning, and my report draws upon contributions in this forum, with thanks. https://www.47soton.co.uk/2023/06/eastleigh-works-and-t-26th-june-2023.html

701006 has lost its cab fairings at both ends. The result is aesthetically atrocious. This may have been a first run in this condition: 5Q61 1334 Bournemouth T&R.S.M.D to Eastleigh Trsmd.
