Hey everyone. Not sure how rapidly this all changes as 720s come on stream, but can any kind soul give some solid workings for next week? Specific headcodes / services much appreciated.

Hoping for some off-peak 321 action.

Out off interest ref 321s at Wolverton works, will most likely be the case these are the ones for parcels and class 600 hydrogen conversion.?
Due to eversholts links with Gemini rail.
However most likely the gascoigne wood ones and worksop maybe? Go to scrap in due course.

You’re right of course, but as this is an enthusiast forum I can’t help but find it surprising that some members prefer the characterless and anodyne……

I can concur with that, though i don't mind the 321 Renatus. Bright, airy, modern and aircon that usually works. The doors can be a bit rattly though. Smoother and quieter ride than a 720.

The class 321 is an operators train not a passengers train. A huge down step from the Class 309 but up step for the awful 302,307,308 family.

Not tried a 720 yet!

Ironing board seats though. At least the 720's are firm but comfortable rather than just firm.
