Overview
The Class 321 is a electric multiple-unit manufactured by BREL, in use on Stepford Connect. These trains are formed of 4 coaches, and cost 1125 points.
Trivia
- Up until July 2018, the Class 321 trains had an incredibly bland livery, more like the Class 321/9
- This train is the second/third Next Generation train to have smooth curving on the sides. All other NG trains have had sharp curves. Some trains might get a redesign.
- In real life, these trains will be replaced by the Class 720.
- This class of train is nicknamed the "Dusty Bin". This name is derived from an animated character on the game show 3-2-1.
- This train has the same motor sound as the Class 319 and the Class 508, both of which are operated by WaterLine although it is ironic because the 321 has a completely different motor sound to the 319 and 508 in real life
- In real life, these are operated by Northern Trains and Greater Anglia, they also formerly operated for London Midland and Great Northern and Silverlink.
- The Next Generation version of this train is based on the Greater Anglia "Renatus Project" livery on trains 321301-330 in real life, with 321448 as a demonstrator.
- When this train does get the new Stepford Connect livery, it will look more like the Greater Anglia livery unlike common misconception. Its current livery is the Greater Anglia version on the Renatus units but with a different colour scheme.
- Due to the new livery, the doors will look more like the Greater Anglia livery
- This train is based off the Class 321/3 - Mattyx2013 said in an edited sneak peak that it was a Renatus unit but this was later edited out.
- When this train gets the new Stepford Connect livery, it will look more like the Greater Anglia livery
- This is the first Mark 3 based train.
- The triangle on the front of the train is to indicate the First Class end of the train, and against common misconception, not to indicate a guard's panel (321s don't even have a guard panel) and not to indicate that it is a Renatus unit.
- This train, along with the Class 319, were meant to be upgraded in Version 1.4, but according to BanTech, they couldn't fit, so they're added later in V1.4.1.
- These trains are the oldest multiple-units on Connect, having been introduced in 1988, in real life
Known Issues
- The train's motor and sounds do not match to what they sound in real life and the door opening sounds are inaccurate.
- Also, the Class 321's motor sounds in game actually too sharp compared to what the real life motor sound.
- The doors happen to glitch through the walls when opened, and may be fixed when converted into CSG.
