Hello everyone! :D

Unveiled during the late 1980s, the Class 321 would go on to become one of the most widespread electric multiple units ever built by BR, seeing its domain on high density commuter services range from London and the South East to Yorkshire and Scotland.

However, the days of the Class 321 have now come to an end with the last members withdrawn during 2023, but even with their retirement in the face of new models, the 321's mark on the commuter networks of the cities it had served remains today in successive forms of traction, and a revitalised passenger market.
