It looks like they introduced one more 10-car diagram this week, making it 6 in total. Some are reduced to 5 cars in the early morning and late evening. Based purely on observation, this seems to be the intended pattern for this week. Diagram 1: 2N04 0503 NMP-EUS (5-car) 2K05 0639 EUS-MKC...

Reported elsewhere as 730223

I guess they fixed it. It then ran in service as 1Y49 from EUS to BHM, currently around 20 min late approaching BHM. 1758738006 Does anybody know which unit is on 5G01 from Camden to Soho? Just seen it pass Coventry but too fast for me to identify. It's the one that's been in the siding at...

I thought it might split at Nothampton but all 10 cars have just passed Coventry.

730226 made it to Birmingham. Picking up 730205 at Northampton on way back to Euston, then planned to be on Tring/MKC service for rest of the day according to RTT. However, 730230 later planned to be on 1Y27 1023 EUS-BHM and on Birmingham services for rest of the day, so we'll see what happens.

Additional 10-car 730/2 diagram today from Bletchley. That's 3 x 10-car in service. Started as 730215 only: 2N04 0503 NMP-EUS 2K05 0639 EUS-MKC Then joined at MKC by 730230: 2K06 0800 MKC-EUS 2T23 0924 EUS-TRI 2T24 1015 TRI-EUS 2K23 1109 EUS-MKC 2K24 1230 MKC-EUS 2T41 1354 EUS-TRI 2T42 1445...

Well, the various Internet browsers (Chrome etc.) are all Apps which you should be able to open when on the move. They will allow you web browse and save shortcuts if you wish. Good starting points are: For listings at a particular station, realtimetrains.co.uk, then select Search and Detailed...

2 x 10-car were on the usual services yesterday but RTT didn't report the unit numbers. I suspect that this information was not shared by the ToC. It looks like it may be the same today. 1756281329 It was the same on the Liverpool-Birmingham services. There were 6 730/2s out yesterday but only 3...

RTC is advertising "The Varsity Explorer" on Saturday 25th October 2025.

Thanks. They must be the ones as those sidings were empty earlier in the week.

It looks like two have appeared at Camden C.S.D, possibly as 5C99 from Bletchley yesterday (22 Aug). Maybe this was to make space for the arrival of 214 and 224. Does anyone know which ones are now at Camden?

730216 has been at Soho L.M.D. for some time now. Until mid-July, it had been used for test/training runs to Crewe. Yesterday (20th August), according to RTT, it was used to replace 730212 on two journeys in the afternoon (1F62 and 1G63). 1F62 was terminated at Crewe due to late running caused...

That's the one. Thanks very much for retrieving the schedule. yes it was a bit late arriving (but not enough for delay repay!) :lol:

What are these for? 5G99 0905 London Euston to Soho L.M.D. 5A99 1209 Soho L.M.D. to London Euston This has been mentioned before but nobody has yet suggested an answer. A pair of 730/0s runs ECS every weekday between Euston and Soho L.M.D. They are in normal passenger service to/from Euston for...

This would agree with the measurement I took earlier in the year. This was the speed profile from Coventry to London on 1B52, 2nd April 2025 with 807004. Even the 350s can go at 110 between Coventry and Rugby but it seems that the 807s cannot.

There's a second move (5Q77) planned for the day after in the opposite direction, so it looks like a swap.

Interestingly, 217 is scheduled to end up at Soho tonight, rather than going back empty to Crewe. Perhaps it will appear on a service which starts in Birmingham tomorrow. We shall see.

RTT is showing this as 730212. I haven't seen 206 appearing anywhere yet. Maybe I've missed something

That's a pity but I went there to see it this morning

It's a test or training run, scheduled for most days this week. 2Q91 Bletchley to Crewe then 2Q92/2Q93 to Nuneaton and back, then 2Q94 back to Bletchley. It ran Tuesday and Wednesday (yesterday) with 730204. Today it's reported elsewhere as 10-car with 730221+730204. 1753356422 RTT reports...
