The Class 701 Aventra was a train used for Waterline services prior to its removal. These trains were 4 cars in length and had a maximum speed of 100 MPH. It costed 3000 points. With the release of Version 1.1, the train was retired, meaning it can no longer be bought or spawned. It was originally thought that the train was under refurbishment, but it has been over 5 years since they were pulled from service and Next Generation trains have been built since then.

Trivia[]

  • Compared to its real counterpart, the Class 701 in SCR was very inaccurate as the front end was different and they were operated as 4 cars. In real life, the shortest configuration used consists of 5 coaches, which would not fit on Waterline, similar to the situation with the Class 700.
  • The Class 701 in game was based on the Class 720, when in reality the 2 trains look nothing alike.
  • According to former Product Developer Mattyx2013, the train was removed because it didn’t suit the line and the front end looked different than the real-life counterpart; it looked identical to the Previous Generation Class 720.
  • When the train was retired, owners of the train were refunded.
  • This train and the Class 730 are the only trains in-game to be added before entering service in real life.
    • However this is no longer true as this train was removed in Version 1.1.
      • This makes it the only train to have been removed from the game before entering service in real life.
        • However this does not remain the same as the Class 701s entered service onto SWR on 9th January 2024.
  • If the train had remained in the game past Version 1.1, the livery colour of this train would have likely been made slightly darker, similar to what happened to the other Waterline trains.
  • Even after its removal, it still holds the record for the most expensive Waterline train, as well as the record for the one of the longest trains on the operator, along with the Class 165/1, Class 319 and Class 379.
  • If this train was moved to Stepford Connect, it would've still been removed either way like the Class 465 as it doesn't support pantograph.
    • However, this train was equipped with a pantograph during testing on Velim 2 in real life, meaning that in future this train can be converted to run on 25kV overhead.
