As part of the West Midlands Trains (WMT) National Rail Contract, WMT is required to provide sufficient depot and stabling facilities for the new Class 730 train fleet and has developed plans to provide these. Work is already underway at Bletchley and should start next year at another site. Until these are completed, interim arrangements will be used as required.
