Journey back to London Euston from Tring onboard 730011 + 730006 as the 2T50 1641 from Tring to London Euston! When I did this service back in April, it was a Class 319! Can’t wait until the Class 730s hopefully operate to/from Milton Keynes as well as Bletchley! So far the 730s are the only Aventra units with Guard Operation while the Class 345s, 710s and 720s (both Greater Anglia and C2C) have DOO (Driver Only Operation) or DCO (Driver Controlled Operation). But what will the 701s have? Guard Operation or DCO? Also featuring 319219 + 319457 (2T53 1624 London Euston to Tring) and 319214 + 319433 (2K45 1639 London Euston to Milton Keynes Central). Once again, Oyster and Contactless can only be used between Euston and Watford Junction, however, Contactless (not Oyster) will also be valid at Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted and Tring by the end of 2023.

London Northwestern Railway Class 730
nice
Will the Class 730s can be heading towards the West Midlands to replace the 323s and the ex-West Midlands Railway Class 323s joins with Northern Rail in the future?
Hey there, I saw you recording your video when I got on at Harrow & Wealdstone and I wanted to come say hello but I didn't want to interrupt your recording and at Euston I lost sight of you unfortunately. We made eye contact when you were filming through the door windows while departing H&W and I was standing next to you. I was the boy with a bag, light brown coat and blonde hair. The first time you see me in the footage is at 24:33 when I board the train and then later you walk in my direction. I hope you remember seeing me and it was great to see you 🙂
Why do I feel like these are going faster than 90mph. That motor hum is nice at speed!!!! Other aventras don't have that sound.
Great video
Nice
