"From 14th December, LNR is rolling out new longer trains onto its Trent Valley line, which connects the capital with destinations in Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Buckinghamshire. The new fleet - known as Class 730/2s - are longer than the trains they replace and will represent an overall 20% increase in capacity on LNR routes to and from London Euston. The electric Class 730/2 fleet is made up of 36 five-carriage trains - a total of 180 new carriages."
"The extra capacity we are introducing on the Trent Valley line from this weekend will make a real difference to the millions of customers who use the route every year. These trains are the cornerstone of our £1billion investment into the railway. As well as extra seats, the new trains offer modern features including smart air conditioning, open gangways and charging points at every seat. I am certain they will continue proving popular with our passengers."
