NXEA class 321 MADNESS!!! AT ROMFORD

[@wurlyone4685]

Great mix of first/second franchise liveries there. First franchise (but Second gen) First Great Eastern (with the second franchise vinyl NXEA stripe that was added after National Express ditched 'one' and renamed as National Express East Anglia); Full first franchise Silverlink livery (on a short term hired-in unit); Second franchise 'one' livery (with later NXEA white stripe); Second franchise full painted National Express white/silver livery (but all seemingly missing the vinyl 'connection' stripes); Second franchise scaled back NXEA livery (plain white with blue doors); Second franchise London Midland (another short term hired-in unit). Definitely the biggest mix of liveries of this fleet ever operated together. You did well/got lucky to catch them all - particularly London Midland and 321446 - the only one ever to get the dreadful 'one' livery (which was done in vinyl over virgin fresh FGE paint straight out of C6X the days before 'one' launched). Sad indictment of what an absolute clusterf@&# National Express were, that they managed to generate 4 different liveries all themselves, within just one franchise term on East Anglia! 😂

@@MPDTransport Sorry to disappoint... But considering I sign 350s as a traction and work with them on a daily basis. They are digitally limited to 110mph with the large computer system they have onboard. No matter what, Even if you got out and pushed it is physically impossible to go 111 let alone 120.

@@FuliCuddlesFangirl mph - he's talking linespeed. 321s can do 100mph, but the speed limit on that section is 90mph max (due to the overhead line). The GE only lifts to 100mph much further out.

[@PoxyMoxon97]

The London Midland one (321411) was on hire for a time. Also I don't think the speed limit is 100 through Romford but 90 seems more likely, especially for the noise coming of those 321's (even though they can EASILY reach 100!)

[@FuliCuddlesFangirl]

[@nathanw9770]

The limit is only 90 mph through Romford and the 321s are limited to 100 mph. At this time NXEA had a ton of 321s, some were refurbed, some unrefurbed and some were cascaded from the WCML. Hence why they are in so many liveries in this vid.

Did any actually stop?

[@thataspieguy5244]

Well he's only recording them passing

[@georgebarlowr]

No none of them do as on the GEML line, Class 321's normally are put on to routes beyond Shenfield going country bound which then means the trains will only usually stop (from shenfield to london) Shenfield, Stratford and Liverpool Street. The only occasion where they may stop the trains at Romford would be if a class 321 is put onto the stopping service going from Shenfield and all the stations between there and Liverpool Street (which would never really happen) or if they have an agreement with TFLRail to take passengers from Romford to LST on the fast line which rarely happens and only usually happens when there may be a delay. This happens because Greater Anglia (the company who replace NXEA) gave away there rights to run trains between Shenfield and Liverpool street on the slow line for the upcoming Crossrail which will soon run from Shenfield to the other side of London, since doing that Greater Anglia only run a 'fast' service on the GEML line between Shenfield and LST and beyond Shenfield they operate the rest of the GEML line on their own.

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

London Liverpool Street.

Second version was the simpler (cheaper!) blue doors and plain all white bodysides.
