Overview
The Class 345 Aventra trains were used for testing on Airlink. These trains were 7 cars in length, with a maximum speed of 90 MPH. These trains were never put into regular service, and they were withdrawn from testing without any further announcements regarding these units.
Trivia
- This train went on a series of test runs from September 12-15, 2018. However, the train was never released. This was due to a variety of factors, including:
- The length of the train being too long for some stations along the line, notably Stepford Central and Stepford Airport Central.
- The top speed of 90 MPH, making it the slowest train on AirLink
- The chassis causing lag for operators of the train, making the top speed problem worse.
- The train was first revealed in the SCR Discord in #announcements. The photo in the sneak peek is shown on the right.
- If it had been released, this train would have been one of the two longest trains in the game, alongside with the 5-car variant Class 43, with a total of 7 coaches.
- The car markers at Stepford East go beyond 6 coaches, possibly to accommodate these trains.
- These trains are the only trains with three doors on one side of a coach.
- In real life, these trains are operated on TfL Rail, a precursor to Crossrail.
- If this train was put in service, it would have been the slowest Airlink train, even though it would have been the longest.
