Nice to see a proper length train for a change!
3, 5 car LNR units5 x 3 = 15 or 3 x 5 = 15 ?
I have to ask !
Think I know the answer, just have to ask...............
I don't believe it does, it's also never going to run in service in that configurationMy understanding is 3x5 cars would not fit platforms at Liverpool Lime Street.

An earlier working, 3Q55 was shown as working Crewe to Winwick jn, but was turned back near Dallam Mail Terminal.I saw a 15 Car line up before of 730101 + 730103 & 730206 earlier next to Dallam, Warrington. It worked 3Q58 1628 Dallam Junction to Oxley Car. M.D.
Same one?I saw a 15 Car line up before of 730101 + 730103 & 730206 earlier next to Dallam, Warrington. It worked 3Q58 1628 Dallam Junction to Oxley Car. M.D.
It was out to test whether a 5 car could rescue a 10 car set with all 3 pans up apparenty.I saw a 15 Car line up before of 730101 + 730103 & 730206 earlier next to Dallam, Warrington. It worked 3Q58 1628 Dallam Junction to Oxley Car. M.D.
Same one indeed!.Same one?
Arrived 30 late into Euston & left 25 late.The set forming 2T49 has not let left Camden CSD yet as of 15:54. Any idea why?

In this post here on the previous page - no confirmed date or route https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...very-test-updates.215134/page-47#post-6502130I know the WMT ones have started running in passenger service due to videos on YouTube, but does anyone know when the LNWR ones will be in service? And what route will be first?
Separate. 3 xRa for WMT 5 cars for LNR servicesWhen these enter service on West Midlands routes I wonder if they'll keep two separate pools of /0, one at Bletchley and one at Oxley/Soho/wherever it is, for the two separate jobs, or if they'll regularly swap them over. This is, of course, bearing in mind whichever way they do it will only be for at most a year until /2s come on board.
What do you mean “3 xRa”Separate. 3 xRa for WMT 5 cars for LNR services
"3 cars are" is my guess. But surely not the case anyway until the 5 cars are ready for use at LNR.What do you mean “3 xRa”

I know that the 3 cars are for WMT and that 5 cars are for LNR. I'm talking about when the 3 cars start running in Birmingham (which will still be while 3 cars are being used in London on an interim basis, and before the 5 cars are ready)"3 cars are" is my guess.

Where does 1408 say Lime Street ?Read post 1408
Given the 3 cars are only running to Tring/Bletchley or MKC, I would imagine they will be kept apart. Obviously they can still do ecs moves to swap them over, but I don't think they will go anywhere near each other to have any planned swaps in.I know that the 3 cars are for WMT and that 5 cars are for LNR.

Is it possible to do all the necessary maintenance at Bletchley? If they need to go to Soho or Oxley, that may lead to swaps? Having said that, it is all fairly low mileage.Obviously they can still do ecs moves to swap them over, but I don't think they will go anywhere near each other to have any planned swaps in.
Bletchley will eventually be the base for the 730/2s, so I’d imagine Bletchley will be able to carry out all of the required day-to-day maintenance.Is it possible to do all the necessary maintenance at Bletchley?
