Very fitting that it gets a send off on the Scotsman as it were.

Yes, I thought that was a nice touch. Great too that it does a full diagram on its final day, certainly going out in style!

Guessing the 0Z91 is the 91108, but why is there a 5Z91 back down? Did it forget something?

Replacement satsuma for tomorrow?

Also think it’s nice that it’s done 1E01 today...

There’s a rake of coaches currently at Wabtec... perhaps it’s those returning to Bounds Green?

It would be wonderful if LNER are to make that the send-off for them all!

Doubt that will happen as the Scotsman is one of the first Edinburgh trains to go over to Satsuma operation, as I understand it.

Suppose for it to be the send-off for every one, by definition it would need to be the very last diagram to be converted!

Sad to see the first of the 91's go. A big part of my life.

It was really odd to travel back from Leeds and see very few 91's out and about. Luckily there was an HST on the service from 'Arrogut. Is it possible to identify which services will be HST/91 hauled or is it still to fluid?

My aim is to get as many trips in as i can before they are all gone.

Agree - the Azumas are starting to appear thick and fast now.

Quite - I remember them being new, and trying to convince my Mum to let me bunk off school to go on the first trip out of Leeds. Will definitely miss the roaring and whoosing as they set off.

Indeed it is, let us hope the other locos get a similar treatment on their last day.

Funnily enough, I was just thinking that, hence my above post!

Can anyone let me know where i can find the working diagrams for the HST/91s. I found a site years ago but cannot find it now..

There's this from December:

Is that not out of date since the Azumas started running

Yes, but it covers the HSTs and 225s, the only change is that some diagrams have been replaced by 800s which can easily be found anyway.

You're welcome, obviously some are now 800s, but that's simple enough to figure out.

how do you find those?

If you mean the 800 diagrams, haven't people posted those up on the forum and anyway I believe LNER list the current Azuma workings on their website.

ah ok - thanks - that I did not know.

I'll certainly miss the 91's when they cease working on the ECML. They have served their various TOC's well but all good things must come to an end at some point. Next stop the Class 800's....

No problem; this is the relevant page on LMER's website, which should get updated whenever another diagram goes over to am Azuma: https://www.lner.co.uk/the-east-coast-experience/azuma-trains/azuma-schedule/

The changeover - here's 91108 heading past Oxford Road Footbridge, just north of Finsbury Park, on its last in-service run out of KGX on 1S13 this morning and then an unidentified 800 on the following 1D11 to Leeds. (Photos taken on my Pixel 3 XL - the catenary here makes it a pig to get a clear shot at speed!)

i've sadly never gotten to see a 91 IRL, despite going to St Pancras many times

That's why! You need to go Kings Cross.

EE Andy b1 · 22 Jul 2019

Cracking locomotives, never the most reliable but have given 30 years of Stirling service.

Not a patch on a Class 87 though. I am biased.

Just cross the road...
