Class 730/2 Trains Officially in Service! Worth the Wait?

After years of anticipation, the brand-new Class 730/2 Aventra EMUs have officially entered service with London Northwestern Railway. In this video, I cover their first day in passenger operation, how they compare to the older Class 350 Desiros, and why they represent a massive upgrade for daily commuters. 📍 This debut journey was the 16:19 departure to Northampton, making limited stops at Watford Junction and Milton Keynes Central only—giving us a perfect look at how these trains perform on a fast run. 🚂 Support the Channel Help keep the trains running with your support: 🔹 Patreon:   / sim0ntrains   🔹 Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/sim0ntrains 🔹 YouTube Membership:    / sim0ntrains   🌐 Follow Me Online 📘 Facebook:   / sim0ntrains   🐦 Twitter/X: https://x.com/Sim0nTrains 📸 Instagram:   / sim0ntrains   🌌 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/simontrains.... 🧵 Threads: https://www.threads.net/@sim0ntrains 👋 Who Am I?
