Class 730 LNR & WMR Delivery/test Updates

[Peter Sarf]

No allox and no location on the system I have

Presumably testing (or parked up) does not show up on your systems ?.

Possibly parked up.
Only units that are "accepted" generally appear with a location.

2028 headcode 1139 Lichfield TrentValley to Bromsgrove failed at University around 1231, and caused total cahos and congestion on the cross city line until around 1930, 7 hours worth, However until around 2100 pm ish the Bromsgrove to Lichfield diagram it was on went totally uncovered with at least the 1300, 1600, 1900 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valleys cancelled due to no spare 730s available.
However does anyone have the number of the failed unit and what was the failure if known Thank You.

What's the latest on the LNWR 730's, are they any closer to entry into service?

Training of managers and coaches/instructors has now started. Rest of train crew to be trained over the next 3-4 months.

Should be in service for December timetable change.

West Midlands Class 323 - the final countdown

Wednesday 26th June 2024. Redditch to Four Oaks 323216 323211 323240 solo 323204 solo, failed at Birmingham New street 0n 1315 to Redditch low on power. 323218 ecs from Soho observed at Birmingham Street to form the 1445 back to Four Oaks. But 323218 solo. Bromsgrove to Lichfield diagram was...

I think the Bromsgrove trains are on a three hour loop, e.g. mentioned 11:18 at Kings Norton would be at Kings Norton again at 14:18, 17:18 etc.

I’m not sure if Redditch is 2.5 hr pattern or 2 hr. Edit to add - pretty sure it is a 2.5 hour repeating pattern on the Redditch to Four Oaks service. E.g. just under 2.5 hrs for it to get back to Redditch.

Redditch is indeed a 2.5hr cycle

Is there still a 730 diagram on the WCML for Saturdays? If so what services does the 730s work from Euston.

Thanks in advance
