The units are converted from London Underground D78 Stock, originally manufactured during 1980 by Metro Cammell. The conversion re-uses the D78's aluminium bodyshells with new interiors. In this configuration, every wheel is driven and all are braked by a computer-controlled blended reactive/pneumatic braking system, allowing for optimum braking performance in all weather conditions. The type has been assigned the designation of Class 230 under TOPS. From December 2018, West Midlands Trains, also operating as London Northwestern Railway was intending to operate three Class 230 units on the Marston Vale Line, but their introduction was delayed, entering service on the Bletchley to Bedford line on 23 April 2019. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Vivarail is an English rolling stock manufacturer, founded in 2012 and based in Stratford-upon-Avon. Vivarail's main project is the conversion of retired London Underground D78 Stock into two new classes for National Rail services. In November 2014, Vivarail bought 156 driving motor cars and 70 carriages of ex London Underground D78 Stock which were being replaced by S Stock.[4] The stated purpose of the Class 230 is to ameliorate a perceived shortage of affordable, modern rolling stock on Britain's regional rail routes, resulting from the slow pace of electrification. Other units will retain their electric capability as they are re-engineered into Class 484 units for use on the Isle of Wight. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The London Underground D78 Stock, commonly referred to as D Stock, was a type of sub-surface rolling stock which operated on the District line of the London Underground, except on the Wimbledon to Edgware Road service. The first units were withdrawn in January 2015 with the last withdrawn on 21 April 2017. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ In 2014, Vivarail purchased 156 Driving Motor cars and 70 trailing vehicles for conversion to diesel-electric multiple units. It is proposed to run 75 units of two or three cars per unit. They are known as class 230 under TOPS. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ West Midlands Trains (WMT) is a train operating company in the United Kingdom. It operates passenger trains on the West Midlands franchise between London and the English Midlands under two trade names: West Midlands Railway (within the West Midlands region) and London Northwestern Railway (LNR) (outside the West Midlands region). -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The Marston Vale line (Network Rail route MD 140) is the community rail line between Bletchley and Bedford in England, formerly part of the "Varsity line" between Oxford and Cambridge. It is one of a number of British Railways that is covered by a Community Rail Partnership, in this case known as the Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership. The Partnership aims to increase use of the line by getting local people involved with their local line. Apart from a short length of single track at both ends, the line is double track, and is not electrified (barring short lengths at either end). The line's signalling centre is at Ridgmont. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Woburn Sands is a small town and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes, England, and part of the Milton Keynes urban area. It is south-east of Milton Keynes proper, near Wavendon. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Woburn Sands railway station serves the villages of Woburn Sands and Wavendon in the borough of Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England.
