According to Part Time Spotter 39 730s were out today, Cross City 11 diagrams [22 units], South WCML 4 diagrams [8 units], so must be 9 units on Walsall-Wolves and Rugeley-Birmingham International, these latter two routes requires 11 singles units so just 2 350 diagrammed on here. :) hope this is about right.
Thank you, I shall look on the website tomorrow and work the timings :D

Thanks for that.

The 730/0s seem to have a tendency of going to Crewe and getting left there for a while !.


Afraid you won't as PTS seems to have hung his coat up and having a rest, will be sorely missed.
Speaking on 730002/022 - they are now back at Soho Depot.

Are 730s working out of Euston apart from the Peak hours yet? Thanks
2 all day diagrams, plus the 2 which get thrown out in the evening peak do work a few services, normally ending the day between 20:00 & 21;00 (look for Bletchley terminators)

I think you might be out of date with those diagrams. There are two peak diagrams and two off peak. The first passenger runs are 2T02 2B02 2T00 and 2B00. The rest can be deduced using RTT

Ahh thanks, was thinking of having a day at Watford junc in Dec, maybe go elsewhere and wait a while until it's all 730s.
Unless things have changed, then all 4 diagrams near enough follow each other in the evening:
15:54 2T49 (Tring)
16:05 2T51 (Tring)
*350 to Milton Keynes*
16:24 2T53 (Tring)
*350 to Tring*
16:39 2K45 (Milton Keynes)

This might have already been answered, but when are 730s going to stop being stored at Gascoigne wood?

I've come to the conclusion that the passenger occupancy screen is a tad pessimistic in saying a coach is 'full' when it's half empty.

Yes it might have been full on departure from Birmingham New Street (or Aston) but they don't seem to update
