- Today was the first day for West Midlands Railway's Class 730s operating on the Walsall - Wolverhampton line. They will be operating on this route on week I believe. I also understand at some point soon (but not this week) that they'll be running to Rugeley Trent Valley. Later in the Spring, they will be exiled to the Cross City line and replace the Class 323s on that route.
I decided to go and get some shots of their first day in service on this particular route. I got shots filmed both at Walsall and Bescot Stadium, the unit featured in all shots is 730018.
We first see 730018 working 2A17 Wolverhampton - Walsall, filmed at Walsall, the unit then worked the 10:37 departure for Wolverhampton. We then see the unit at Bescot Stadium working 2A27 to Walsall.
I may not be one for normally filming modern units, but as I guess this is a bit of history. I decided to film.

Great to finally see these in full service, good catch here peter.
Cheers David mate, later in Spring they'll be on the Cross City line. Would be nice if we get a farewell tour for the 323s
Great Catches
Thank you
I’m next for the first ride of this unit
I’m hoping it’s gonna be operating tomorrow
Diagrams are down for all this week from what I gather. So should be in service tomorrow. Though not sure if it will still be 730018 or a different 730
@@class47peterI think it’s gonna be the different one I believe
I was the driver
What are the units like to drive?
