It would have cost more then they are worth tbh, thats what happens these days tbh, non standard units cost too much to adapt so they get sent to scrap. It’s unfortunate but the way it works these days

There are quite a few apps you can use, rail record is my personal favourite but if you want to see what is allocated to certain services then real-time trains is your best bet. I will add the links. Rail record- live.rail-record.co.uk/live/ Real-time trains-www.realtimetrains.co.uk/

That was the plan but it was cancelled for a reason that I’m not sure on, but there is still another 3 that live on and may or may not find a use as parcel units but who knows.

It also claimed 313 from southern too yesterday

@@AquaFonic different loco

It is a waste but with newer stock available at a cheaper overall cost it’s what happens, goes to show how much the world revolves around money these days.

@@ntgtrains6455 sadly too true

It’s only 60 years old but I get your point

65 year old Loco.

It is a shame to see them go there are another few going down to scrap today, but LNER are going to keep some for some more years to come

Non standard units with a lot of decay due to 2 or so years sat in storage, it would cost too much to bring up to standards.

​@@ntgtrains6455 least there's a proper reason then just scrapping it because nobody wants them

3 or 4 are left and will not be scrapped in the near future as they have been given rolls as test units at the new rail excellence centre in South Wales

They have been life expired for a while Now

@@ntgtrains6455 Yeah, I know, but will still miss them when they all are gone

That’s correct as per the description

They are for braking force and because the couplers on the 37 and the mk3s are not the same I believe

The 37s never brought the southern 455s down for scrap as it was a GBRF contract. And i know where the scrapyard is and it is quite busy, they are quick at scrapping stuff so they are pretty popular

Also the SWR class 456s came down by road they were taken by rail from Wimbledon to long marston and they went by road to Newport docks.

@@ntgtrains6455 oh

@@ntgtrains6455 some 455s were dragged by train

@@thetrainhornmaster9439 I know the 455s were I saw most of them but they were hauled by sheds apart from 2 occasions when it was a 47 and a 69

Yeah I’m looking forward to seeing them go as bad as that sounds

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed

They are owned by ROG not TFL they were sold off in 2020

ah

Yeah not even 18 years old it’s a shame but there is no other use for them

There are plenty more desiro units left even if they don’t preserve them which I can’t see them doing

@@ntgtrains6455 Alright.

Where did you get that? No, they aren’t due to be replaced anytime soon

@@TanVasinTrains The wiki page. They are supposed to be replaced when the line gets extended. But there seems to be no progress.

@@AliGroves450 its not getting replaced, theres just new rolling stock orders for the extension

Thank you very much I’m glad you enjoyed

This is what happens when we have private companies running our railways

A waste of non standard units that no one wants?

They don’t need them it’s simple as that they don’t want them

They are about 16 years old it’s a shame but non standard units seem to be the ones that nobody wants

It’s a shame but as a small group of non standard units they were never likely to be picked up by any TOCs due to the expensive modifications required to make them suitable for any routes, the 379d might head the same way as they have been displaced by the GA 720s and the FLIRTS but who knows at this point they are being moved regularly most likely to keep them ready to run if needed so I can’t imagine them being scrapped yet, GWR might pick them up if they can but who knows

@@ntgtrains6455 if the 379s go that would be a major major disappointment. But I get what you mean.

@@ntgtrains6455 also I guess it depends how much the units are needed, 321s had the most extensive refurbishment I've seen. Ckass 458s have had some major works done to them also ,SWR have devoted so much to their units its astonishing. So I guess it just depends if the TOCs are willing to pay for them or not. I assume given the 360s were extras they weren't really worth the expenses for the TOCs at the time. Which is still sad.

Dessie?

That's what I said

@@arnoldspottingvideos5269 whose Dessie😂

@@ntgtrains6455 😂😂

Yeah they are non standard units so they would need expensive modifications

Thanks!👍

They wasted money by getting paid for the scrap?

@@ntgtrains6455 exactly they brought them now scrapping them they are too young to be scrapped

@@thetrainhornmaster9439 yeah well no one wants them and there is no point paying for them to be stored for no reason

@@ntgtrains6455 I would use it on SWR but they don’t use 3rd rail so another fail

@@thetrainhornmaster9439 they are non standard units so they would have to pay a lot to even put them on normal routes

It’s not right at all, it’s even as far as scandalous but it’s the modern day British railways for you when they have no immediate use they are disposed, such a shame considering these units are 2 years younger then me

Gose to show how good and well built the Class 37s are.

Yeah, the class 360/1 trains needs their class 360/2 trains to get it self repainted in EMR Connect livery.

@@ivanyap2002 I agree with you Ivan and yes they should

No one wants them as they are non standard units, I’m not sure you both are aware of the cost to fit the modifications then the cost of crew training and getting gauge clearance, it’s sums up to a hell of a lot

Because no one else wants them

They can go on london overground where the 378s are

@@mrorangeaventra4683 probably won’t be compatible, if they needed or wanted them they wouldn’t be going for scrap

@@mrorangeaventra4683 They don’t have TPWS which would require expensive mods. A small fleet of 5 is not wanted anywhere.
