I always think of these as being quite modern. I can’t believe they are already over 40 years old. Strange that they are being hauled away by a locomotive that is probably older than they are.

I agree

I was a teenager watching these smart, modern EMUs coming into service. I was always rather fond of the 313s and it is sad to see them go - especially in that rather nasty Great Northern livery. Thanks for sharing your video 👍

That blue and purple was the colour scheme of ‘First Capital Connect’, the company that lost the franchise to GN. The ‘Great Northern’ nameplates were nothing more than stickers placed over the ‘First’ logo until such time as they were retired. The actual GN scheme is a miserable light grey with darker grey markings and doors and interior fittings in an especially cold tone of blue. If you think the colours of these are bad try spending a few hours on one of their miserable 700s. They are as physically uncomfortable and unwelcoming as is their colour scheme. I know, I live in an area served by ‘Great Northern’, which incidentally is not Northern and is certainly not great!

They could have given them a new livery do you think?

I went on those trains when I was a child ~ my local railway was the Hertford loop line and I live in Gordon Hill in Enfield north London with the Gordon Hill train station at the top

Very nice work!!!!

MSgaming HD ikr and the pantograph wasn’t up

A sad sight.

what is the name of the station that you saw the trains coming

What period of time does this cover. Days weeks. Where are they going to be scrapped. ?

RIP 313s with DUAL. I know Southern 313s are completely with DC only after their pantographs removed. There’s last unit still have pantograph but service for department only.

Well technically the 57s are still older since they are rebuilt 47s which are from the 60s

not quite - the Class 57s are still fundamentally old. Only thing that got changed was the engines and control electrics.

Some of these units looked really scruffy towards the end

☹️ ~ even more sad, seeing them being pulled by a diesel loco and not going on their own electric traction - despite their being over-head electrified

SOUTHERN STILL HAVE 313’s won’t let them go ..... they still hang in there

As one who saw N2’

Who operates the 57?
