LNR Class 730s in a EPIC 15 CARRIAGE formation at Rugeley Town!

It not very often you see longer trains at Rugeley Town but 15 coaches is a bit too much! London Northwestern Railway ran a 15 carriage train on test with their 5 car Class 730 EMUs, They were on test between Oxley in Wolverhampton and the North West of England, the three units (730101, 730103 & 730206) passing through working 3Q58 1628 Dallam Junction to Oxley Car. M.D.

[@bb-3653]

How rare..damn !

[@maimadha]

Great video

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

That was very rare Simon but good catch though. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@shihanthetrainspotter]

This is very rare and almost as long as a Eurostar 373-374 because they have 16 coaches

[@MrGreatplum]

Very quiet for so many coaches!

[@etinosaogieva8240]

That’s way long😲

[@nathanw9770]

Amazing! Are they going to operate in this formation at rush hour?

[@Sim0nTrains]

Don't think so, think it was 15 coaches so they could get the milage up on these units. Honestly only guessing as I have no idea about this 15 carriage formation

[@andrewreynolds4949]

Normal formation will be 10 cars. 15 is too long for a number of stations I believe

[@156andrew8]

very long train

[@RailwayLDN]

Wouldn’t it be good for a 15 to be in passenger service

[@Sim0nTrains]

It would but only certain platforms would accommodate them.

[@donovanemery597]

Not something you see every day lol

[@TheCaterhamBusGuys]

wow! amazing catch!
