Evidently you don’t sign Blackadder!Ants can't get asthma, they have no lungs.

Seems to me he only signs London - a small village on Mars just outside the capital city (Wibble).Evidently you don’t sign Blackadder!
Ahh thanks very much again! I assume the 5Q41 series of runs are up to Edinburgh?5Q10 etc is 800104.
5Q20 is 800111
5Q30 is 800113
5Q41 is 800103
5Q10 etc is 800104.
800103 is on 5Q40 moves to from Edinburgh.

just passed Reading with 800202 (all in white).Can confirm that 800104 now has the complete LNER livery, with all stickers and the full interior to boot.

Taking a different tack does anyone have any idea what will be done about those cables? To me they look pretty much fixed without a lot of alterations. People who say it will be quietly forgotten seem to have the most practical solution but H&S and practical are strange bedfellows.
I saw 800111 in York on a Peterborough training run in January. It accelerated away from York well if it was on diesel. I assume it was on diesel as electric was not being used north of Doncaster. Faster than 20mph.As they are 801s they will have to operate in electric mode. The single engine would make them as rapid as an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping if they were on diesel.
I thought they were being split at Leeds to go on to Harrogate/Bradford FS/Skipton.The article in modern railways suggests LNER are reluctant to join and split services. Does this mean the 5 car sets are going to operate permanent joined or permanently separate?
Either way, what services will they be used on?
Why not just lengthen the cables which lowers the loop so the high voltage is not accessible.Moving the cables would be a significant alteration.
It should however be reasonable to fit some means to deter climbing up the cables.
Other stock with somewhat similar cables was retrofitted with semi-circular protrusions on the coach ends, that were shaped to deter climbing, and prevented ready access to the cables.
Other possibilities could include a tough but flexible rubber screen between vehicles hat conceals the cables, or a fixed fairing on each vehicle that reduces the climbing space.

you're almost certainly right. Trying to conduct meetings and stare out of the window at the same time! (I also just missed identifying which 37 was hauling the Anglia DVT towards Canton....)5X82 is 800202 & 801104 in LNER

the AT300 bi-modes do accelerate really well on diesel - the 21 litre V12 engines probably helpI saw 800111 in York on a Peterborough training run in January.

It does have a bit of the DB ICE about it....
I also thought that but David Horne in modern railways suggests not to avoid compromising timetable reliability.
Shame there will be nothing ICE about the interior.It does have a bit of the DB ICE about it....
There is hardly room at Harrogate to stand a 5-car set and definitely not a 9 or 10-car during turnround unless they return to Leeds literally within minutes. Platforms are used every 30 minutes at present and will be every 15 minutes shortly. with trains turning back every 30 minutes and needing space to stand away from a platform.I also thought that but David Horne in modern railways suggests not to avoid compromising timetable reliability.
No. That train, although accepted, is still being used for either driver training or further testing.800109 departed Leeds at 1245 yesterday from Platform 8? Was this in service?

I'd say a mix of that and the ETR.460 units from Italy, before they became assimilated into the Frecciargento fleet.It does have a bit of the DB ICE about it....
