The shape of things to come! Brand new and out of the box, 730002 takes a test run along a quiet WCML from Crewe to Euston on a Sunday afternoon. This three-car unit will be one of those that will work around the Greater Birmingham area replacing the Class 323s. On the section of line south of Northampton, there will be forty-five five-car units in operation that will not wear this rather garish West Midlands Trains' livery. The Class 730s are the first members of the Aventra family to feature end gangway connecting doors that do not really spoil their looks too much.
