Good evening Twitter, Soho depot and Hunslet are proud to be able to show first photos of 323221's transformation. It was hoped that 221 would be available to enter service on Friday, unfortunately the paint has not cured enough to allow the release of the unit.

Hunslet heard that some work had been done to his beloved grok. The look of surprise and happiness, when he found out that the depot team had named it after him. Well done Hunslet@
Apparently people don't use trains anymore. Full and standing.
@CrossCountryUK
, a 2 car 170 just isn't acceptable. Weekend travel needs to be catered for better.
323221 is now a serviceable unit with the brake fault repaired overnight. This unit will be allocated to a cross city diagram for Monday morning, unfortunately at this time, which diagram is unknown as yet.
Hunslet was tasked with doing the weekly checks on his gronk. When he opened the cab door on his gronk this morning he found his nameplates placed on the cab floor. A very happy Hunslet.
With some tears in his eyes, Hunslet sets about helping the team debrand and paint repair 323208 in preparation for its departure from the depot tomorrow.
Good Morning Hunslet followers.
Our very well loved 🐻 is ready for action when he found out his hard working PA is duty on call manager for the next 24 hours!
Keeping the West Midlands moving!!!!
Hunslet met up with his favourite driver Benji today. Hunslet found his way to the depot Christmas eve 2021 when he was thrown off a bridge & landed on Benji's train.
Good Morning Hunslet fans.
Hunslet is out and about today helping his PA

I think he has only come to sit and wave at the passengers as the trains pass by.
Hunslet has been a very busy bear over the last few weeks. Hunslet merchandise will be available for sale, hopefully within the next few weeks, with all profits going to the Birmingham Children's Hospital and the Railway Benefit Fund.
The depot team arranged for surprise party for Hunslet with pizza, samosas and cake.
Hunslet was also given a leaving present, which he opened when he was sat with his beloved Millsie.
Hunslet's manifesto would be
Compulsory jaffa cakes with all tea breaks, Tunnocks tea cakes to be provided free at all railway depots, baths for bears to be optional and only when decreed to be really necessary

Hunslet's friend Chris saw how not even a Class 37 could cheer Hunslet up, so headed to the secret depot jaffa cake stash to get the emergency pack and to give Hunslet a hug.
There has been some whispering on the rails that Hunslet’s PA is leaving Soho depot.
The whispers are true to find out the full story please click below to Hunslet’s website,
Hunslet appears to have been sulking today as he is still trying to deal with his mistake yesterday. I think he needs to talk to someone

Good evening Hunslet followers.
Hunslet has had a bit of a rough week and ended up feeling low. He decided to spend some time having fun with Millsie. Here they are having fun on the swings.
Good Morning Twitter!!!
The time has finally arrived. Hunslet is ready to start selling you his merchandise. Please visit for all your Hunslet merchandise needs
Today is Hunslet's last day on depot 😪.
Hunslet found that his main jaffa cake stack was empty, so decided he would go around some of his other secret stash locations to see if any were in there.

None in the tool tidy
Now clean, dried and tucked up in bed. Hunslet has had a very busy day, has met lots of people, chatted about life and travelled on his beloved 323s. Goodnight Twitter, see you in the morning
Hunslet would like to say a massive thankyou as he is now followed by 2,500 followers he has decided to celebrate by having a sausage roll and a chocolate cookie
Hunslet was sat minding his own business and watching the snow fall when he was hit by a snowball. Unfortunately the assailant disappeared before Hunslet could return fire.

Hunslet getting reacquainted with the 2 Class 730 units that are being stabled at the depot. Don't think he is that impressed with them just yet though
Hunslet was asked by a member of the depot team if he could conduct an interview for a vacancy on the depot. Being a diligent 🐻, here is Hunslet reading up on the interview questions
