So just trying to piece together where the 730/2s start in the morning besides Bletchley. The Liverpool ones come from Crewe in the morning and the new Crewe ones come from Northampton. Is there insufficient room at Crewe to stable the required units that start from there? Will units be stabled long-term at Northampton once the 350/2s have gone? I appreciate that the Crewe to Liverpool is short term but will these units provide the Trent Valley services in the future?

Found out such working on Saturday, thinking would it be 730

 

[SCDR_WMR]

That will be a Northampton AM diagram then.

Crewe depot have not been given a date nor training materials for 730s on the Trent yet, the 1713 is a Crewe diagram so that may not run at this point.

1U39 and 1U40 are worked by Crewe Drivers between Rugby and Crewe in both directions (one CE driver works it to Crewe and another works it back to Rugby)

RTT has 730224 and 730234 working together on a Euston - Birmingham diagram all day. I think this is the first time 224 has been reported working but I am happy to be corrected.

I had 730 224 + 730 234 on the Euston - Tring / Milton Keynes circuit on Thursday ( 16th ) so it's been out this month already, with the same partner unit.

 

[rogercov]

RTT reports that 730208 has joined 730225 for 2K06 0800 MKC-EUS this morning.
I believe this is the first time 730208 has been in service.

 

[bnsf734]

I consider myself corrected!

Think the master list on page 1 of this thread also needs updating!

730208
730218
730224
730235

are all now in service, but not according to the master list.

216 was in passenger service for most of September but appears to have failed on 22/9.

Is 730223 Restricted or available for Service?

223 was briefly in passenger service early in September but appears to have failed on 4/9. It has subsequently been to Old Dalby and back.
As far as I know none of the others listed have yet been in service.

Update to my previous post: 730223 went ECS to Crewe earlier (with 730213).
It is now in service as 1G55 to Birmingham, having taken over from 350125 at Crewe.

730218 is at Crewe now but scheduled to run ECS to Bletchley as 5B30 later today.
