Thanks for the info - has 108 lost it's BTP/Anti-trespass livery then? Shame, I thought that suited the 350s quite well

It should've, yes. I haven't seen it since its re-livery though so can't be 100% sure

That's a nice surprise, I was told it'd all be going to LNWR livery. Glad it has stayed with that unique wrap

A schedule is in place today to take something from Northampton to Long Marston. As 350127 was the last 350/1 and is at Long Marston ready to be picked up, I wonder what will be taken and why.

37800 has been despatched from Wembley, so I don't think it's an orphan schedule.

Could well be a class 3503 series for a full internal refurbishment.
Iff so then there will be after today 9 more drags to long marston to complete the process.
With today making it the first off the class 3503 for refurbishment drags.
Ie ten moves in total.
Which still should see class 350 moves continued to approximately January/ February 2022.
However today Saturday the 21st August 2021.
Is the final day or should be the final class 3501 move though.

37800 on 551V 1432 long marston to Northampton Depot as shown on live rail unsure headcode However around 75 minutes late through berkswell hauling 350127 back from refurbishment.
However despite the late running 37800 on full throttle and sound certainly was heard all around the berkswell valley and surrounds.
Making that part off Warwickshire epic with sound.

And here they are at Five Ways. I'm thinking this could be the last time we see such a working. (Sorry about the photo quality - it was taken through a wire-re-inforced window on the footbridge).

28Aug21. Five Ways. EE Class 37 37611 PEGASUS 350115 350106. [P1100891] by Ray, on Flickr

Alleged to be warranty work, but not 100% sure.

This sounds about right, as these two units were only at Long Marston for the week.

350106 currently in the shed at Bletchley. Will be swapped for 350127 on Saturday....127 is therefore the last unit out there in the "ghost" livery...... was out in traffic today as such.....catch it whilst you can!

Was in Bletchley TMD between 21st and 28th August and was treated then.

This unit was out of traffic before and since relivery due to an unspecified fault....it has been used as a parts donor to other units in the meantime. Was assisted into and off the TMD because of this.

Cheers, explains why it's not been seen very much since it became ghost white and then vinyled up.
