Trivia[]
- All Class 720 units were extended from 4 to 5 coaches in The Big Update to reflect its real-life counterpart.
- These trains were unique for having their destinations in white Highway Gothic.
- In real life, these trains are numbered as 720/1, 720/5, or 720/6, however, in SCR, all Class 720 units are numbered as 720/5.
- This is the first Aventra train in SCR.
- Currently, this train, the Class 345 and the Class 730 are the only Aventra trains in the game, as the Class 701 was removed in V1.1.
- When this train got upgraded to Next Generation, the train was given a yellow front like real life. It also has destination boards on the side.

- It formerly had a black front like the Class 730, Class 801 and the Previous Generation Class 802.
- When this train got upgraded to Next Generation, there was a red line on some coaches which meant that there was a toilet in that coach.
- However, these were removed when this train was upgraded to NGv2.
- This train was the last train to be upgraded to NGv2 by former Product Developer Mattyx2013.
- The new NGv2 version of this train was mistaken by many people as the Class 701, a former Waterline train now removed due to it not suiting the line and its resemblance to this train.
- Prior to V1.6, these trains were classified as 720/0s before, which don't exist in real life.
- After the aforementioned update, they were renumbered into 720/5s.
- This was the second train that received the new Stepford Connect livery.
- The first was the Class 380.
- This train was criticised for being flat and its shaping generally being quite inaccurate and squared.
- The roof on the car of the pantograph was missing in V1.6.0 - V1.6.2.

- Former Managing Director Charlie_RBX previewed this train upgraded to the mesh model and a newly renovated Whitefield Lido station revealed on the 13th November, 2021.

- Since V1.8.1, when departing Coxly from Coxly Station Siding or even doing nothing at the siding with this train, the player will be despawned with the message "Maximum tilt exceeded." This has yet to be fixed, even after the refurbishment of the siding and the station in V1.10.
- When this train was meshed in V1.8, the pantograph was put in an incorrect location. It is unknown why.
- This also applies to the Class 730/1.
