[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Great video mate

[@downonthestour]

Thanks 👍

[@Thornaby37]

Great video 👍
Presumably there are only three 319 diagrams left on LNWR

[@downonthestour]

Only 2 this week, Then one the week after. Then none 😔

[@uktransportgames]

What times do 319s run?

[@downonthestour]

Google Part time Spotter. He puts the allocations up

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

So the 730s have bigger carriages - but still just two double doors a side (?)

[@downonthestour]

They're longer than a 323 but not as long as a 345.

At 0.04 your title states London North Western Railway ( WMR West Midlands Railways) where in fact West Midlands Railways is the operator of London North Western Trains based in Birmingham, the only difference being is that where as WMR operate the local trains in the West Midlands Combined Authority area and into Worcestershire the the trains that operate to the London Area and Liverpool are labelled as LNWR

[@ormondsworld3947]

I presume as the 730s are painted in WMR livery?

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

@@ormondsworld3947 That is the livery they are in the parent company of LNWR and will be used on local electric commuter services in the West Midland especially on the cross City line

[@downonthestour]

The unit is operating as a London Northwestern Railway service in West Midlands Railway livery hence the brackets (WMR)
The operating group is West Midlands Trains NOT West Midland Railway. WMR & LNR are sub brands of West Midlands Trains.
London Northwestern Railway isn't classed as LNWR either it's LNR.

[@downonthestour]

The parent company is West Midlands Trains. NOT LNR.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

@@downonthestour Yep whether you abbreviate it as London North Western railways or London Northwestern Railways it is the same difference and in the West Midlands we call it West Midlands Trains, but the fact is both branded trains have been known to operate on each others routes especially here in the West Midlands but as being stated in the video they are not London Northwestern Trains. So funny realy as in British Rail days these services from Euston to Birmingham were operated by Network South East, what the South East had to do with Birmingham I don't know, but the irony of it is now these services out of Euston are being run by a Birmingham based Company West Midlands Trains./LNWR
