Twilight/final non-PRM Class 321 workings

[warwickshire]

From a very reliable source and friend off mine in the colchester area.
Wednesday 29th December 2021 following workings:
1520 vstp 5N00 colchester csd to clacton csd was 321312 321317 with 321343. 321312 and 321317 was originally ecs from ilford earlier on in the day but called at colchester Carriage sidings to pick up 321343 to take it to clacton.
Meanwhile 1610 VSTP 5F53 CLACTON C.S.D TO COLCHESTER SIDINGS other direction was 321333 but ecs and running solo. On its own so they are still running but adhoc infrequent as required ecs movements only.
Any further ecs movements in their final days are also very much welcomed here please iff anyone stumbles across any in their travels.

Further information on the 23rd December 2021. Once again from a very reliable source off mine 321338 321430 moved from ilford E.M.U.D Depot to southend Victoria Carriage sidings for storage on the 5G42 1420 ilford E.M.U.D Depot to southend Victoria Carriage sidings move.

Once again a very reliable source off mine colchester area. Has informed me that on Wednesday the 05th January 2022 following moves occurred.
1. 321424 took 321319 1020 5V51 to ilford E.M.U.D Depot from southend Victoria Carriage sidings.
2. Meanwhile on the 1206 5K78 ilford E.M.U.D Depot to southend Victoria Carriage sidings 321330 then returned with 321424 in the middle with 322482.
At least 321424 still partially active.

Went to Colchester north yesterday and saw more 321 renatus units than 720’s! Surprisingly, a 720 was on one of the Walton Shuttles.

Back on topic, 321427 and 321341 are still in warm store by platform 5 and 321321, 321333 and 321409 are still in warm storage at the depot.

339 still at Clacton. Where is 335 and 336?

339 still at Clacton. Where is 335 and 336?

Was it not behind 339? The three were previously in a row, uncoupled.
I remember on this working, there were timings listed up until Colchester. They could be there.

339 was on its own had the carriage road all to itself. Pan up and compressors going

Is there a way to check which trains are 321s/322s in real-time? I'd like to ride the remaining 321s/322s.

I think there was a tool on GA's website which could identify if it was 8-car/5-car/etc? But I can't seem to find it on their website.

There aren’t many GA stations but Liverpool St and Stratford are in there. Chose CIS summary and it says how many coaches each train has.

Thank you, that would be very useful!

 

[Railperf]

Thank you, that would be very useful!

I did see a 321 Reantus pair out yesterday and an ex Northern 321/9 or 322 in the morning. But most off peak services are now 720s

Thank you, that would be very useful!

1Y11 today is a Renatus coupled to a Blue ex- Northern 321/9 or 322

Thanks for the tip. Though most likely I'll be attempting a ride on the Northern 321/322 units today (Saturday). If anyone spots them, please let me know!

Many thanks for the info!

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

More ex-Northern units out than Renatus!

 

[Class360/1]

More ex-Northern units out than Renatus!

Yeah! Is there a specific reason for that? Do the Northern bins have more mileage till an exam?

 

[boiledbeans2]

1 northern + renatus unit gone.

I'm currently on the 1602 departure from Liverpool St. The train has failed somewhere near Harold Wood. We are still stuck...

As a train enthusiast, I hope we get some track walking

Anyway, i'm about to exceed my Oyster maximum journey time and i expect 2 maximum fares deducted. I hope this can be solved in a straight forward way by calling TFL? Or would i need to give a detailed explanation to them?

There’s a 1Z99 behind you…

Definitely worth asking in the fares section if you need some advice.

That probably explains why the train I was on, the 1615 LST-SOV diverted on to the slower lines at Gidea Park.

 

[warwickshire]

Again from a reliable source friend off mine in colchester.

[50002Superb]

9.58 Colchester to Wivenhoe 10.17 (481)

10.24 Wivenhoe to Colchester 10.33 (484/321)

10.49 Colchester to Romford 11.35 (901/311)

11.51 Romford to Shenfield 12.01 (485/329)

12.05 Shenfield to Stratford 12.20

13.28 Stratford to Colchester 14.17

How does this look? Anyone got any thoughts / criticisms/ suggestions?

I need to be back in Colchester by 14.30 and can’t start before 10am.

I need not tell you that it won’t be those exact 32x units on a different day, of course. Hopefully they will be 32x and not 720s at a last minute swap. They seem to be sticking to the same diagrams so far, at least.

here’s hoping.
