    Class 730 LNR & WMR Delivery/test Updates

    Are you sure it wasn't a few weeks before 24th February as I thought it went to Gascoigne Wood on the 16th. According to my records (correct me if I'm wrong): 730227 was dragged from Old Dalby to Bletchley on 23rd December 2025 but never went into service. Then on 16th February 2026 it was...

    Class 121 bubble car on Ilfracombe Line

    There are a few pictures of DMUs here. I think some of them may be 121s (and one looks like a 122). https://londonrail.uk/barnstaple-ilfracombe/ https://londonrail.uk/the-barnstaple-ilfracombe-railway-2/

    Also 730210 which was involved in the Queen's Park collision on 09/05/2026. It seems to have made it back to Bletchley T.M.D. later that day, presumably under its own power, but hasn't been seen since. The damage doesn't look too bad. The picture is on the RAIB website. Are these repairs likely...

    It looks like 730206 travelled from Bletchley to Soho this morning as 5G99. 37884 is on its way to Soho as 0Q65, presumably to drag 730206 to Tyseley later.

    Class 730 LNR & WMR Delivery/test Updates

    It looks like 730206 last ran on 13/4/26 with 730209. According to RTT for 13/4/26: 730206+730209 was on 1U44 (1913 from Crewe) and only got as far as Lichfield TV when it was cancelled due to "a problem with the doors". It then stayed at Lichfield for over an hour, blocking the up slow, so the...

    And 730227 I believe. It did spend a short time at Bletchley earlier this year but as far as I know never ran in passenger service.

    Very likely. It looks like 9S65 (390013) may have been the culprit.
