800010 was on this: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K97183/2017/08/10/advanced
Indeed, and that's today's video! I caught 800001 & 800002 as well as 800101 en route from North Pole IET Depot to Didcot at Slough in the sunshine, then 800010 at Acton Mainline in more cloudy conditions later today!
Was hoping the latter (800010) was going to be an 802 seeing as I missed the move on Sunday owing to being busy but it seems the IET gods have blessed me again with another 800.

Whilst at Acton I met the GBRf Route Conductor who tells the driver what to expect where, and he was telling me there are two on every trip usually on delivery. The driver takes the unit from Doncaster to Peterborough, where his route knowledge ends. A Route Conductor works from Peterborough to Acton, and then this changes to another at Acton Mainline. I forgot to ask him so does anyone else know why the schedule splits at Acton Mainline?
