A TRAIN operator is celebrating the first anniversary of its new fleet being introduced.
The Class 730/2 electric trains entered service with London Northwestern Railway in June 2025.
Built in the UK by Alstom, the fleet is made up of 36 five-carriage trains and has increased capacity on routes – including through Lichfield Trent Valley after being added to the line in December 2025 – by a fifth.
Bosses at London Northwestern Railway say the introduction of the new trains has also seen a 20% increase in customer satisfaction.
Jonny Wiseman, customer experience director at the operator, said:
"These modern electric trains have made a massive difference for the millions of commuter and leisure passengers who travel on our services to and from London Euston every year.
"It’s fantastic to see how our customer satisfaction scores have risen since their introduction 12 months ago and we look forward to building on the success of the fleet as we move towards an integrated publicly owned railway."
