Template:Train

Overview

The Class 730 Aventra is an electric mutiple-unit manufactured by Bombardier, which is not exist in real life currently, in use on WaterLine. These trains are 3 cars in length, with a max speed of 100 MPH, and cost 1000 points.

Trivia

• This train is the cheapest WaterLine trains you can purchase, at a cost of 1000 points. Because of this, these units are quite frequently operated and diverted many drivers' plans to buy Stepford Connect trains or new Class 195, whose prices are mostly 1500 points.
• Just before the release of the One Million Update, the train was labeled "Class BTS (BanTech Systems)" in the menu and painted black so you could not see the designs.
• The game incorrectly stated that this trains had a max speed of 90/110 MPH. If so, then it would have been the fastest in SCR. However, this was not true. The Class 43 and the Class 801 hold the record of 125 MPH.
  • Neither 90 MPH nor 110 MPS is its max speed. Its max speed in game is 100 MPH.
• In real life, the class 730/0 has a top speed of 90 MPH while the 730/1 and 730/2 have their top speed at 110 MPH. If either of the latter two were put in, they would be the fastest trains on WaterLine.
• This is the only train to not have the class number shown on the outside. Regardless, the variant used in the game is for the most part the 730/0 as the 730/1 and 730/2 variants have 5 coaches as opposed to 3. The class number will probably be shown on the outside when this train becomes a Next Generation train.
• The Class 730 is painted in a special livery (designed by BanTech) instead of the standard WaterLine livery. It now sports the new logo.
• In real life, these trains are not in service yet, but they are being built; it is unclear whether or not the Class 730 in-game represents the one being built. This may potentially be the only fictional train in SCR. In a sense this is also the newest train in SCR.
  • Because of this, the Next Generation model of it may come out very late.
• The Class 730 once had the highest class number out of all trains, but the Class 802 took this spot as of V1.1,
• This train used to be infamous for derailing while returning to Benton from Cambridge Street Parkway as well as other locations.
• This train, Class 165, and Class 166 are the only legacy/paper WaterLine trains left as of V1.4.1,  all of them have the newer Houghton Foundry models.
