    I’d suggest adding the Class 730 in West Midlands Railway for Birmingham Cross City.

    Birmingham Cross City remaster would only entail a new timetable.

    Playable services:
    Class 323
    Class 730

    AI:
    Class 350
    Class 390

    This would be great to see. Birmingham definitely needs those extra services

    Then you're not asking for a remaster, you're asking for a loco DLC.

    As said already the 730 has replaced all 323 stock on WMR BCC line.

    It would be good to add the 170 on here too it'd have to be unbranded but least we can have some express stopping services from New st

    taken from WMR website:-
    The Class 323 fleet has been replaced by brand new Class 730 electric trains as part of WMR’s £1billion investment programme.

    I'm from Birmingham I use the cross city line daily. When the 730s were introduced they were running alongside. And were slowly withdrawn overtime. They weren't replaced over time. But over the period on 10 months
