720112, 08.45 Wembley Yard-Rugby (5Q27, 36L), Northampton station
The Class 720s are a real step change for rail
passengers throughout East Anglia on both the c2c and Greater Anglia lines replacing a myriad of older classes. The 720/1 subset is being introduced into service at the time of writing in the autumn of 2022 with units undergoing testing and mileage accumulation runs prior to moving east for driver training. Undergoing a test run 720112 is seen passing through Northampton station as the 5Q27 08.45 Wembley Yard to Rugby outward trip. It would make a return trip later in the day. This is a 'going away' shot as I was engrossed in conversation with my wife and enjoying a coffee on the train rather than studying RTT to see what was about!
