Would anyone know if these trains used to be on the Leamington /B-ham Snow Hill /Kidderminster service.

Hmm interesting. Under existing standards, new rolling stock specified for routes with journeys in excess of an hour must have a toilet. The recent toiletless Class 376s slipped into service by being categorised as suburban/less than 60 minutes route time.
This isn't helpful for people who've been out on the booze and face a 55 minute journey home. Worse still where station toilets are closed in the early evening to avoid vandalism.
But for obsolescent rolling stock without toilets - I guess they can probably do with them what they like.
Which (as someone with a small bladder) I think is wicked
