Where did they maintain the 317s then?


I seem to recall every week or so they were transferred back to
Hornsey and swapped over.


Not in the days when they were new and only ran on the Midland they
didn't.

They lived at Cricklewood in those days, Colin. In the big shed that was
newly built for them, to the east of the line, just north of the station.
The rebuilt depot lasted about five years, until Thameslink rendered it
obsolete (because the 319 stock could be accommodated at Selhurst) and is
now in industrial use.
