I'm going to miss the 323's and the noise they make. I remember when the Cross City was electrified and the 323's were introduced. God I'm old!

323 are really tight on sitting space - I'm tall person and i cannot sit in "single row" seat - with backrest in front of me, because my legs not fit into space. So I need to use "double row" and ideally in 3 seats zone - so virtually i using 2 seats because no one can sit oposite - due to lack of legroom. 730 looks more spacious, with less seats - more people can find available seat. BTW 323 has decent acceleration/braking - and this was bonus.

I was a student at Birmingham university in 1978. The cross city line had just opened. Old, smelly DMU between there and New Street. It’s much better these days!

Used to travel Lichfield to Birmingham so often with my grandma going into Birmingham or sometimes we would go to bournville as she used to work for Cadbury’s. I’m deaf now but can still hear the sound of the trains as they departed a station. So many memories seeing all those stations I travelled through so often as a child.

Only found out they started running today this morning and coincidentally ended up on one from Lichfield city to Trent valley. Was only a few mins on there but it was so nice to finally get on one. They did have some issues with door opening tho. They got the doors open in the front 3 coaches then 30 seconds later the back 3 but then the very end door didn’t open at all 😭.

I still need to go finish the Cross City line. I've not done the very south end, or seen the Centro liveried 323, or seen most of the WMR ones since they were named. I do wonder whether it will remain in Centro livery when it goes to Northern, and whether Northern will do a GMPTE one. I always prefer 2+2 seating. More room when sat, less awkward with other people sitting, and more room when standing. Especially hate the 3+2 seats on the GA 720s, as I can't walk through the aisle with a backpack, and not bash my arms on the seats.
@frogandspanner
@frogandspanner Ай бұрын
Nice to have 2+2 seating. Seats are rather hard. As my journey is usually Kings Norton to Brum my bum can just about cope. Long-legged friends report that the legroom of the aircraft seating is poor. I hate aircraft seating - fine for short commuter runs, but the cross city line is hybrid - with the Red-itch to Lichfield run taking 1:20 - unpleasant with the new seats.
