On Friday 05.07.24 5Q94 0534 Derby Lit to Long Marston ran, presumably a 730 ? Can anyone confirm what it actually was. Thanks.

I saw a report somewhere that 730029 had got to Willesden (last week or earlier ?).


I have never noticed any 730s in Wembley Yard, plenty of 321s though !.

Any chance of info on what is where today ?.
It is about time 029 showed itself in service darn sarf.

Just boarded a very new smelling 730029 on a Tring-Euston service.

I had 730029 paired with 730036 today on 0740 Tring-Euston. 730029's first day in service. 36 different 730's now worked -33 of which on the west coast

Will Northern do a follow up for 730s and see off 323s? Maybe towards the end of the decade? Maybe one for another thread somewhere.

Why are these future Crosscity 730's going to Willesden?

Seems Willesden has the job of commissioning the 730/0s, they then go to Bletchley for use in service before moving on to Soho. I know originally it was because Soho had no capacity and the WCML 319s were on (beyond) their last legs. But Willesden also seemed to get 720s for commissioning (or finishing) but not the 710s !.

Thank you Gordonman for the information regarding 730225:
Apparently 5Q94 0534 Derby to Long Marston and 5Q65 0946 Long Marston to Oxley ran on 05.07.24 But I can find no information regarding what was conveyed on these moves - presumably Class 730s, do you (or anyone else) know what was moved please ?
