    Transport for Wales Class 231 / 756 Stadler FLIRTs

    Thanks Bob and is there a way to tell the 756 and 231's apart from the 231's having 4 diesel engines and the 756's having 1 diesel engine and 3 battery rafts, albeit wired as four battery sets connected to each traction motor.

    Are TfW expecting 11 231's and 7 3-cars 756's and 17 4-cars Also do we know when the first 756's are due. Last i heard one was on test in Hungary.

    Looks like the first TfW 756 has made an appearance in Hungary. Presumably in the commissioning process of vehicle technical tests and authority checks on the Gyor-Hegyeshalom line. I wonder when we’ll see the first one in Wales. They look so similar to the 231’s Photo courtesy of an Andi Rauter

    Transport for Wales Class 231 / 756 Stadler FLIRTs

    They are starting on the right foot with the 231's, hopefully seeing them out and about on the network regularly now. 769's had lots of delays in testing particularly was with us for nearly 10 months before it's first run up the Rhymney and a 4 month delay due to Covid. 1639062904 Nice video...

    The paths for the first 231 run up to Rhymney on Friday night/Saturday seem to have been amended. With 3R02 and 3R03 now no longer showing? Maybe a pause to review how the first runs went? 3R00 2300 Cardiff Central to Rhymney 3R01 0007 Rhymney to Cardiff Central 3R04 0324 Cardiff Central to...
