I rode on West Midlands Railway's NEWEST trains! (25/04/24). Whilst travelling from Lichfield to Shrewsbury, I got to try out one of WMR's brand new class 730 trains, as well as finally having my long ride on board a class 196.

Nice vlog of riding West Midlands railway newest trains G. I rode them within a few days of entering service. My first 730 journey was Tring to Watford and my first 196 journey was Wolverhampton to Birmingham as I didn’t make the first Shrewsbury one due to train disruption.

@@GLovesTrains yeah I had to wake up before 5am to get the 6:27 off Rugby then connect with the 7:00 to Tring from MKC and 8:00 which was the 730 from Tring and the evening one was the 1554 off London back in November.

I haven’t been on the Class 196 and Class 730/0 but both of those trains do look really nice. And the Class 730/2s are to enter service later this year on London Northwestern Railway and to replace the Class 319 and Class 350/2.

Both the Class 196 and Class 730/0s are very nice trains and London Northwestern Railway are expected to introduce their new Class 730/2s sometime later this year. You should have carried on with riding the Class 730s to Bromsgrove or Reddich.

They look good ,only used once on Wolverhampton to Walsall,the suspension gives Less comfortable ride than the old 4 car trains and at speed they "Hunt"sway side to side a lot more as the older trains, there's plenty of room to walk up and down train because there are 70 fewer seats on them than the 4 Car sets .

@ChristopherPin 2 месяца назад

I've yet to be on a real 730 but ive seen them about, I have been on a simulator for one though. They for me kinda give off class 700 thameslink feel to them with their info boards, I feel that they are similar in that depart. I did get excited when I saw the 196 thinking you was at Coventry/Coventry arena 😅 I've been on the 196s loads of times and been in the cab in them. They are both very good trains and its nice that plugs and usbs are becoming standard on trains not just something exclusive to 1st class.

@markstramtrainbuscapades1729 2 месяца назад

I rode a 730 005/009 combo a few weeks back (may even have been the same day) from Longbridge-Bourneville whilst riding some 323s before they head your way! I'd already ridden 007 (shaken, not stirred!) on a Wolverhampton-Walsall train. And today, I've ridden 196 110 & 112 on the Hereford line! Yeah, like virtually all new/refurbished trains atm, the seats do seem a little hard but both are great units, with the spaciousness of the 730s being really good!

And as for the seats, I'd much rather have those than the ones on a Turbostar that push your head forward. And the Shrewsbury riverfront is great, isn't it?

I love the orange and purple.. Saw some parked up on the way to Coventry last month. They ought to be sponsored by Sainsbury's with that colour scheme. Same voice anouncer as the South Eastern trains. It's a teensy bit of a shame that we couldn't have regional variations. Travel would be so much more enjoyable if fares were at reasonable levels. Apparently had they simply risen with inflation a £25 fare in 2005 would only be £45 today. Not £145!

@Thornaby37 2 месяца назад

My verdict on the 196s and 730s, if it wasn't for the lack of knicker hooks, they'd be shtunning my dear 😅 Very strange ticket pricing, where it costs £5 more to start your journey 15 minutes earlier

I suspect they'll be a lot like the LNER ones, just twice the price since it's Avanti haha. I doubt they'll be better than the 390s, most reviewers still prefer the IC225 sets over the 80x on LNER and HSTs over 800s on GWR when GWR still ran HSTs. I've not ridden an 80x myself, but have ridden on old IC225 coaches on the TfW loco hauled service and they are quite nice.

@OliverWoodphotography 2 месяца назад

EMR and LNWR are two of my fav TOCs --- I have traveled to London (from Stoke) for only £8 on LNW and had a much more comfortable journey than the Avanti pendo ride, though it was a bit slower. Sorry once again, but I wonder what cam you used to shoot this video G --- the quality, detail, colour and contrast is really outstanding - it looks as if you may have HDR enabled too? I want to get back to video making and although I have a background in Pro AV work the best piece of kit I own for video is a 13yr old Nikon D300s DSLR.

195,6,7 are quick and dirty DMU replacements that CAF is building for super cheap. I know the TfW 197s get dragged hard because they honestly are terrible (I can attest to this one first hand). The 730s are mainly there to replace the aging class 350s in LNWR's fleet and the 323s since London is still playing shuffleboard with Electrostars and they would be a bit overkill for WMR service. The 387s are still too new and too in demand to get hand-me-downed to a TOC up north, and 375s/377s are 3rd rail only.

TfW isn't much better in that regard, but their best rolling stock are their repurposed IC225 sets, other than that they're a sea of 150s, 153s and 158s, with the craptastic 197s entering service a few years ago, the 175s getting retired before more of them burned up and a few nice 231s that never stray far from Cardiff.
