    I find it really strange how the 321s were replaced soon after their refurb yet presently there are still even older 455s operating with swr which haven't had a refurb in years 🤔🤔

    Sometimes original can be better, but the 321s had got very tired, the lighting made the interiors gloomy, the seats were set low so were uncomfortable. I like the refurbished Greater Anglia class 321s, now with a/c, better seats, socket outlets, brighter interior with new flooring and accessible toilet.

    In Switzerland they are currently refurbishing the IC2000 trainsets, and they also made the windows (or the whole exterior) look uglier than before imo. The inside is very nice on them though, definitely worth the refurbishment.

    @LJC94512 4 роки тому +5

    I somewhat really like this refurbishment. I think I just don't like the single line of lights on the ceiling, and I much prefer double line of lights (looking at you Class 700!). It really feels like a modern train but the sounds are still here.

    321s have the most variation in livery tbh, and their one of the fastest accelerating brel older mk 2 units. As opposed to the 319s which seem to crawl into speed

    Got the original motors by the sound of it. I trust with those sealed windows that the air con works. Also hope loo works since that sort can be temperamental. The announcement said No Smoking "for your safety and comfort"- but it's also illegal to smoke on Network Rail property, even outside- a railway bylaw.

    What a minute, those traction motors still exist? We here in New York City, U.S.A. have not had subway trains with those motors since the 1980's. This bring back memories.

      The refurbished “Retanus” Class 321s have traction motors made by Kiepe Electrics which sounds like a Siemens Desiro Class 350, Class 360, Class 444 and Class 450. And Desiro City Class 700, Class 707 and Class 717.

      I totally agree with you. I hope that the Class 317s don’t get scrapped. Maybe London Overground should keep 1 Class 317 just for the Romford-Upminster shuttle service. Great Northern could have some of the Class 317s back and to operate them to Kings Lynn and Cambridge. And some of the Class 317s cascaded to London Northwestern Railway to operate on London Euston-Northampton, Tring and Milton Keynes Central services (during peak times) and 1 Class 317 for the Watford Junction-St. Albans Abbey “Abbey Flyer”.
