Just how cute, are these two LNER Class 801s

How cute!! Just seen my first LNER Class 801, ten car train at Grantham railway station. So in other words, two 5 car trains joined together. If, I was LNER, I would give them both boys names, to show support for being LGBT+

LNER Class 43 at Stirling railway station

LNER Class 43 at Stirling railway station, which also happened to be my ride between Edinburgh Haymarket and Stirling.

Also very sad, this could well be my very last trip on LNER Class 43 in Scotland. Since from the 9th December, the London King’s Cross – Inverness LNER route, will change over to the Azuma service (Class 800).

LNER Class 800 Azuma 800106 at Edinburgh Waverley

LNER Class 800 Azuma 800106 at Edinburgh Waverley, which also happened to be my ride between Peterborough to Edinburgh Waverley, which went via Newcastle and Carlisle. Which is, the first first time, I’ve ever done that route! About 99.9% of the time, they go straight up the ECML.

Also it was my longest journey, I’ve done on one of them! Got to say, I love the extra leg room! Also, I for one, do love the seats!

Been on a LNER Azuma at last!

So happy, that I’ve been on a LNER Azuma Class 800 at long last!

I only did a short journey between London and Peterborough. So can’t really comment much about the seats yet! But do, love the extra leg room.

But so think, they need to turn down the lighting! Way, way to bright, could do with wearing sunglasses, while travelling on the LNER Azuma’s…
