The withdrawal of the veteran class 313s commenced in April 2019 as the class 717s entered service. There are still a number in operation but withdrawals are taking place on a weekly basis with them being dispatched pretty much immediately for scrapping. At the time of writing, exactly half of Great Northern's fleet had been withdrawn. In its twilight weeks of operation, 313052 enters Hadley Wood with the 13.39 Welwyn Garden City to Moorgate service.
