Fair to say that apart from the Walsall-Wolverhampton route (planned for 29th January 2024) and cross-city routes through Birmingham there are no confirmed plans as to where the 730's will be operating and to what frequency. No confirmed date for introduction of the 730/2's yet, i've heard anything from mid 2024 to 2nd quarter 2025.
Thank you for clarifying this, this is a big help and solves my query. So much info out there that I get lost quite quick in it all.
Thank you
I believe it's as below, though I don't think much has been confirmed. This is based off the current crew which are training (Crewe Drivers only, Wolves, New St, Cov).
Cross-City line should be 4tph M-S and 2tph Sunday
Why is Birmingham - Liverpool 2tph all day Saturday but only peak times Monday - Friday?
What about London - Milton Keynes/Tring? Weren't they announced as being 730 routes too, with 350s out of Euston mainly limited to Birminghams?
North Cross-City is 2tph on Sundays.
I didn't write the routes, I just replied to it.
If that's it - all there is, I'll let them have that one.
No failures, only issues i've heard about are a leak from the roof on day one which saw the units swapped out, doors not opening at one station until a reset was done, delay as someone set a smoke detector off when vaping in the toilet, and a delay when someone pulled a passenger alarm.
Sorry It's the way I work things out at my end, making it easier for me.
Well on villa matchdays there’ll be shuttles between Witton and New Street using 730/0s
I think when I passed there on Tuesday it was 730.015 that is attached to 001. 016 and 018 on the outside and 021 on its own nearest the tunnel
Still planned, further meeting this week to ensure that there are another two units that have the latest version of software and have plenty of miles left before exam.
2xx instead of 1xx, otherwise correct
Thanks. I have heard mention of 101 and 103 - are they just hangovers to be renumbered 201 & 203 ?.
Also correct I believe
