You do ?

Why ?

Surely those moves ceased in the first timetable change (or around
that time) after FCC took over from WAGN and Ilford gained a 317
allocation - since when Hornsey 317s only work FCC and Ilford 317s
only work on ONE. There were ECS moves before that in WAGN days - when
ONE 317s were still Hornsey based. But why are there any now ? Surely
Hornsey has ceased ONE 317s maintenance since FCC allocated 319s
there.

True, there not like they use to be - but if memory serves there are still a
couple. I normally always pass one waiting to join the suburban's in the
afternoon. And last time I was anywhere near Hornsey there was a Stansted
liveried 317 parked up. I'll enquire next week anyway.
