This train was added to the game in the [[One Million Update]] on [[Waterline]] on 18th August 2018. In [[SCR Version 1.1|Version 1.1]], this train became the replacement for the [[Class 701]]. In July 2019, the logo on the train was changed to the new SCR logo. This train was upgraded to [[Next Generation]] ([[CSG Model|NGv2]]) in [[SCR Version 1.5|Version 1.5]] on 1st May 2020. The one million visits livery was then changed to the new Waterline livery. On the 16th June, a sneak peek of a 5-car [[Stepford Connect]] variant was published to the public. The [[Stepford Connect]] variant was released on 22nd June 2020. Both variants were upgraded to [[Mesh Model|NGv3]] in [[SCR Version 1.8|Version 1.8]].

}}The '''British Rail Class 730/0 ''Aventra''''' is an electric multiple-unit designed by Bombardier Transportation and manufactured by Alstom, in use on [[Waterline]]. These trains are formed of 3 coaches, with a max speed of 90 MPH, and cost 1,000 [[points]].
   
 
===Trivia===
[[Whitney Green Depot]]
 
  +
*Along with the [[Class 143]], this is the cheapest [[Waterline]] train one can purchase, at a cost of 1,000 [[points]].
 
**Because of this, these units are quite frequently operated and diverted many drivers' plans to buy [[Stepford Connect]] trains (mostly priced at 1,500 points) or the [[Class 195]].
 
**Most [[Waterline]] starters use this train because of its low cost.
 
*Just before the release of the [[One Million Update]], the train was labeled "Class BTS (BanTech Systems)" in the menu and painted black, so one could not see the designs.
 
*The game used to incorrectly state that this train had a max speed of 130 MPH.
  +
**If so, then it would have been the fastest in SCR. However, this was not true.
 
*This train didn't have its TOPS train numbers shown outside the train before it was upgraded to Next-Gen in [[SCR Version 1.5|V1.5]].
  +
**Currently, the only train to not show its TOPS number is the [[Class 08]], though this train is used for scenery at [[Faymere Green TMD/Northbound|Faymere Green Northbound Depot]] only and cannot be driven.
 
*This train used to be infamous for derailing while returning to [[Benton]] from [[Cambridge Street Parkway]] as well as other locations.
  +
*This is one of the only two trains with cab end gangways on [[Waterline]], with the other train being the [[Class 379]].
 
*This was the last [[Previous Generation]] Million Visits train left in the game.
  +
**With its upgrade to [[CSG Model|Next Generation]] in [[SCR Version 1.5|V1.5]], this train lost the livery commemorating the milestone.
 
*This was the final [[Next Generation]] train to be sneak-peeked. This happened on 30 April 2020 in the SCR Discord Server, when a sneak-peek of the NG Class 730 was published.
  +
**Before the upgrade, this train had a yellow front. It was removed with its [[CSG Model|NGv2]] upgrade.
 
**With the upgrade and until V1.8.1, this train got new sounds. They sounded like the [[Class 700]] on AC power in real life, or the old [[Class 707]] sounds in-game.
 
*This was part of the last batch [[Previous Generation]] trains to be upgraded to [[Next Generation]], alongside the [[Class 165]], [[Class 166]], and the [[Class 380]].

===Trivia===
[[Stepford Depot]]
 
  +
*This is the longest [[Stepford Connect]] train in terms of physical length.
  +
**However, since V1.8.2, it is still beaten by the [[Class 717]] in terms of number of coaches.
  +
*This variant used to have the old [[Stepford Connect]] seats instead of the actual ones.
  +
**The new seats were added with its [[Mesh Model|NGv3]] upgrade in [[SCR Version 1.8|V1.8]].
  +
*The [[Mesh Model|NGv3]] rebuild of the [[Stepford Connect]] units were initially [[Sneak Peeks|sneak peeked]] only on Instagram and Twitter on 9th October 2021. It was later posted to the SCR Discord a day later. The [[Mesh Model|NGv3]] [[Waterline]] units were sneak peeked on 17th October 2021 along with the upgraded [[Port Benton]] station as well.
  +
*This is one of the two [[Stepford Connect]] trains that do not have a yellow front, with the other being the the [[Class 717]].
  +
*Along with the [[Class 350]], this is the fastest [[Stepford Connect]] train, with a maximum speed of 110 MPH.
  +
*After this train's upgrade in [[SCR Version 1.8|V1.8]], special car stop markers were added at select [[Stepford Connect]] stations where the standard 5 car or S car marker is not far enough for the train to be able to open its doors. These are identified with a purple colour with a yellow-black border, with the class number in the middle.
  +
**The /1 variant shares these markers with the [[Class 720]].
  +
*When this train was [[Mesh Model|meshed]] in [[SCR Version 1.8|V1.8]], the pantograph was put in an incorrect location. It is unknown why.
  +
**This also applies to the [[Class 720]].

*The [[CSG Model|NGv2]] version of these trains were difficult to stop precisely from a driver’s visual perspective, because of the cab windows being small and far from the driver’s seat, along with the fact that generally gangway-ended trains have limited views from the cab.

*The [[Next Generation]] version of these trains are difficult to stop precisely from a driver’s visual perspective: the cab windows are small and have far reach from the driver’s seat, and generally gangway-ended trains have limited views from the cab. The driver has to be an expert at judging their speed and position on the platform to be able to precisely stop with such constraints.
 
* In real life, these trains are not in service yet, but they are being built, operated by West Midlands Trains; it is unclear whether or not the Class 730 in-game represents the one being built.

* This is the second [[Next Generation]] train not to have a yellow front after it originally having one. The first was [[Class 68]].
 
* This train does not have a functional cab door, which is quite different compared to many of the recent trains that were upgraded to [[Next Generation]] (The [[Class 380]], [[Class 165]] and [[Class 166]].)
 
* This train is available in [[Stepford Connect]] and [[Waterline]], making it the 2nd train to be operated by multiple operators along with the [[Class 185]].

The British Rail Class 730 Aventra is an electric multiple-unit designed by Bombardier Transportation and manufactured by Alstom, in use on Waterline (/0) and Stepford Connect (/1). These trains are formed of 3 (/0) or 5 (/1) coaches, with a max speed of 90 (/0) or 110 MPH (/1), and cost 1,000 and 1,500 points respectively.

History

This train was added to the game in the One Million Update on Waterline on 18th August 2018. In Version 1.1, this train became the replacement for the Class 701. In July 2019, the logo on the train was changed to the new SCR logo. This train was upgraded to Next Generation (NGv2) in Version 1.5 on 1st May 2020. The one million visits livery was then changed to the new Waterline livery. On the 16th June, a sneak peek of a 5-car Stepford Connect variant was published to the public. The Stepford Connect variant was released on 22nd June 2020. Both variants were upgraded to NGv3 in Version 1.8.

The British Rail Class 730/0 Aventra is an electric multiple-unit designed by Bombardier Transportation and manufactured by Alstom, in use on Waterline. These trains are formed of 3 coaches, with a max speed of 90 MPH, and cost 1,000 points.

Trivia

  • Along with the Class 143, this is the cheapest Waterline train one can purchase, at a cost of 1,000 points.
    • Because of this, these units are quite frequently operated and diverted many drivers' plans to buy Stepford Connect trains (mostly priced at 1,500 points) or the Class 195.
    • Most Waterline starters use this train because of its low cost.
  • Just before the release of the One Million Update, the train was labeled "Class BTS (BanTech Systems)" in the menu and painted black, so one could not see the designs.
  • The game used to incorrectly state that this train had a max speed of 130 MPH.
    • If so, then it would have been the fastest in SCR. However, this was not true.
  • This train didn't have its TOPS train numbers shown outside the train before it was upgraded to Next-Gen in V1.5.
  • This train used to be infamous for derailing while returning to Benton from Cambridge Street Parkway as well as other locations.
  • This is one of the only two trains with cab end gangways on Waterline, with the other train being the Class 379.
  • This was the last Previous Generation Million Visits train left in the game.
    • With its upgrade to Next Generation in V1.5, this train lost the livery commemorating the milestone.
  • This was the final Next Generation train to be sneak-peeked. This happened on 30 April 2020 in the SCR Discord Server, when a sneak-peek of the NG Class 730 was published.
    • Before the upgrade, this train had a yellow front. It was removed with its NGv2 upgrade.
    • With the upgrade and until V1.8.1, this train got new sounds. They sounded like the Class 700 on AC power in real life, or the old Class 707 sounds in-game.
  • This was part of the last batch Previous Generation trains to be upgraded to Next Generation, alongside the Class 165, Class 166, and the Class 380.

The British Rail Class 730/1 Aventra is an electric multiple-unit designed by Bombardier Transportation and manufactured by Alstom, in use on Stepford Connect. These trains are formed of 5 coaches, with a max speed of 110 MPH, and cost 1,500 points.

Trivia

  • This is the longest Stepford Connect train in terms of physical length.
    • However, since V1.8.2, it is still beaten by the Class 717 in terms of number of coaches.
  • This variant used to have the old Stepford Connect seats instead of the actual ones.
    • The new seats were added with its NGv3 upgrade in V1.8.
  • The NGv3 rebuild of the Stepford Connect units were initially sneak peeked only on Instagram and Twitter on 9th October 2021. It was later posted to the SCR Discord a day later. The NGv3 Waterline units were sneak peeked on 17th October 2021 along with the upgraded Port Benton station as well.
  • This is one of the two Stepford Connect trains that do not have a yellow front, with the other being the the Class 717.
  • Along with the Class 350, this is the fastest Stepford Connect train, with a maximum speed of 110 MPH.
  • After this train's upgrade in V1.8, special car stop markers were added at select Stepford Connect stations where the standard 5 car or S car marker is not far enough for the train to be able to open its doors. These are identified with a purple colour with a yellow-black border, with the class number in the middle.
    • The /1 variant shares these markers with the Class 720.
  • When this train was meshed in V1.8, the pantograph was put in an incorrect location. It is unknown why.

Trivia

  • Both variants used to have a top speed of 100 MPH in SCR. This was inaccurate, as the /0 and the /1 have top speeds of 90 and 110 MPH in real life, respectively. This was corrected in V1.8.
    • The Waterline units were unable to reach their maximum speed in daily operations until V1.9, as the maximum speed on the Waterline network as a whole was only 90 MPH. However, this could be circumvented by speeding.
  • The NGv2 version of these trains were difficult to stop precisely from a driver’s visual perspective, because of the cab windows being small and far from the driver’s seat, along with the fact that generally gangway-ended trains have limited views from the cab.
    • However, the view was changed with its mesh in V1.8, making the train much easier to stop accurately.
  • This train once had the highest class number out of all trains until the Class 802 was introduced in V1.1.
  • Although these trains have functional cabs, guards cannot use them, and have to use the saloon instead.
  • This and the Class 701 are the only two trains to have been added in-game before entering service in real-life.
  • When this train was meshed in V1.8, the pantograph was put in an incorrect location. This also applies to the Class 720 on Stepford Connect.
