730016, 11.18 London Euston-Bletchley (5Q91, 31E), site of Roade station
Yet another Class 730 undergoes testing and mileage accumulation passing
Roade. 730016 is working the 5Q91 11.18 Euston to Bletchley that will reverse at Northampton returning past this spot on the up slow line in about twenty minutes. The introduction to service of the Class 730s has been much delayed with a few now operating the Tring/Watford to and from Euston services since November 2023 but wearing the West Midlands Railway livery as seen here.
