322481, Edinburgh Waverley, January 22nd 2002

            The Class 322s have had quite a nomadic existence never really found a proper home anywhere over the last thirty years since they were first introduced by Network South East for express services to Stansted Airport from Liverpool Street. After privatisation the units lost their unique variation of NSE livery in favour of the livery pictured above and took the branding 'Stansted Skytrain'. Not long after this the units became part of the WAGN common user fleet and were liable to turn up on any working. This led to most of the small class transferring to North Western Trains for their new Manchester Airport to London Euston service. After a brief return to WAGN they once again headed north but this time they went to Scotrail for use on the North Berwick line from Edinburgh, the above picture is an unknown working but it appears to be a crew training or route learning trip.They headed south once again in 2009 after the Class 380s arrived in Scotland and this time they headed to Northern and found use alongside their cousins the Class 321/9s and the newer Class 333s on local duties from Leeds. Their time now seems to be up however with the imminent arrival of new Class 331 emus.
