Yes. It's incredibly difficult to keep the renatus ones and the remainder of the 321's separate. The diagrams don't specifically allow the fleet to be kept separate- whilst it probably could be done with a lot of planning, it would also increase the workload across the business for both Train...
501 is Kilmarnock bound later this week- currently stopped at Ilford and has been there since the morning of the 29th June.
As for 506... it's a long time for a disabled toilet to be fitted since arriving at Kilmarnock on 9th October. One can only assume that's one massive turd that's got...
I'm not entirely sure how it's jumped the queue, but 317883, the first of the plain white 317's, has been stopped at Ilford for repaint.
There's also at least one of the LOROL 317/8's now in full LOROL livery, but I didn't grab the number.

317513 now stopped for repaint.
Not many NXEA liveried 317's left now, certainly not within the AGA fleet. I make it just 514 & 881, plus two coaches of 722. All of LOROLs 317/8's (887-892) still carry the redundant livery.
317509 in the paint shop at Ilford having a splash of red and white applied to it. Shouldn't be too long before its out- been slow to post that it's having the work done.
DVT 82127 also moved to Loughborough a couple of weeks back for repaint- that's the last blue DVT done.
90007 shouldn't be...
Ilford is equipped for Desiros, the West Anglia route isn't. The units are not cleared and the crews are not trained.
And a 357 has different couplers to what a 379 has which aren't compatible.
321417. It'll be staying in LM colours. It's only initially on hire until the end of February before going to Doncaster for chopping up prior to heading North to ScotRail.
