Class 720 Overview - Greater Anglia's New Aventras

Описание: The new Class 720 Aventra is beginning to roll out across the Greater Anglia network. I've come to Witham to ride on the new trains down the Braintree branch line so I can tell you everything you need to know about the new rolling stock.

1. The Class 720 Aventra was designed and constructed by Bombardier Transportation, now owned by Alstom, at their Derby Litchurch Lane Works in the UK.

2. To accompany the introduction of the fleet, the TOC has invested roughly £300 million in new and refurbished infrastructure, including depots, sidings, and upgrading station platforms.

3. Greater Anglia's new fleet of Aventras will be replacing their Class 317s and Class 379s that operated West Anglia services, as well as their Class 321s and Class 360s which operated Great Eastern services.

4. Testing commenced on the 17th of March 2020, but the units were planned to be introduced to passenger service a year before. This was because of software issues with the Train Control Management System that is found onboard.

5. The first two units finally entered passenger service in November 2020. Since then, the Class 720s have rolled out across Braintree and Southminster services and more recently, Clacton, Colchester Town, and Ipswich services.
