No Full Electrics (i.e. 801's) just yet. 800's have been seen leaving Newcastle with Pan Up - the Bi-Modes should be operating on electric now, where OHLE is available.
It appears that, as per usual, LNER are running Saturday Diversions between Newcastle and Edinburgh via Carlisle this September/October. First Date is Saturday 14th September. No 91/MkIV's this year, but instead the first Azuma pax services on the TVL, and up from Carlisle via WCML.
