I am sure somebody had the idea in this forum the easiest solution would be to use longer cables progressively as the sockets get higher so that they all hang to the same vertical point where they could be fastened together. No ladder then.

That could be an idea but that's a lot of cables to be messed about with and then hoping all connect back correctly and the sets run ok, although if done whilst testing then any problems could be ironed out.
Something needs to be done though and quickly, if there is such a thing as quickly on our railways nowadays.
The railcar and railcar connections on Japan's shinkansen are completely covered with "all-round hood".
"whole circumference holo" contributes to the quietness of the car interior and the reduction of air resistance between cars.
Of course, it can't be a ladder.
f the demands of the British government increase,
Hitachi may be considering adopting this technology in the UK.

The ladder to heaven issue was discussed at some length earlier.
To summarise many previous trains including the paddedcellinos have similar jumpers so if there suddenly considered unsafe why wait till the trains are built for the safety nannys to reject them. Cant they read drawings or dont they get to see them?
Altough personally I dont see the need but would suggest a vertical plate about 6inches wide clipped onto the cables at there lowest point may do the trick.

I thought they were exhausts when i first seen them

It certainly is an impressive picture, but I don't believe there are any plans to have Azumas calling at Knaresborough in revenue service. This was probably another test run between Leeds & York via Harrogate for clearance purposes.
Thank you for an answer.
The beautiful nature and historic streets along the British railway line are artistic and wonderful. I don't get tired of the buildings which I can feel the history in each town.
Class 800 still doesn't match those views.
The history of Class 800 Azuma is just beginning.
Class 43 HST has a lot of British memories and a long history.

Would just be a move to Doncaster I think. Might actually be the one coming back from Rail Live.
It was a test run a few Sundays ago from York to Leeds return via Harrogate.
Presumably to confirm that if necessary sets working to Harrogate could return to Leeds via York if the need arose. Shown stopping at Cattal to pick up the token to progress down the single line to Knaresborough

I heard that Harrogate service will start on 6 flights a day from this December.
One round trip is fine.
London⇔Doncaster⇔Leeds⇔Harrogate⇔York⇔Doncaster(DEPO)
It is interesting when set.
I am sorry if this post is deleted.

Which are utter garbage along with the totally unacceptable blinds.

I agree they're rubbish, but they're better than the sham 2+2 First Class found all over the South East.

True.
I hate the blinds more than the seats. I'm pretty sure the blinds on the 385 close fully but not on the 800s. Stupid design.

I dislike blinds anyway, as they're just a source of arguments. Curtains are better as you can close just yours without affecting others.

The answer in any case is that Nova 3 is a locomotive hauled train of 22m vehicles. The similarity with 80x pretty much ends at the seating.

I don't know if there are any platform length issues on that route but I believe the main reason the MK5As were used as well as 802s for Transpennine was simply for expedience - i.e. there wouldn't be enough 802s available quick enough. That didn't ultimately work out as the CAF units are very delayed, but nonetheless the 802s are prioritised on the routes where they're most beneficial. That being said - there are separate threads for all the new TPE rolling stock.
How do the LNER 800/801 units make the move between Hitachi North Pole (great Western) depot and their home lines? Is it via the North London Line, West London Line then reversing in using the Shepherds Bush north crossover?
The only other reasonable route I can see is via Acton Wells junction, but this would require a drag (I don't know if Acton Wells is wired)? If they go the WLL way, are they on OHLE the whole way?
Thanks.

It would only need a drag for the 801s, the 800s could switch over to diesel [assuming they switched over to electric] in Acton yard before going via the incline towards Acton Wells?

The 801s have a 'get me home' diesel engine in one coach, do they not? So theoretically speaking, could this not be used for brief trips where OHLE is not present?

A Class 800 can drag a Class 801

Is that enough first class seating for the Azuma's as I have noticed that it can get quite full?

If it isn't enough, I could see them raising First Class fares to compensate.
