Do they have external markings for bikes ?
Weren't these lacking from GWR 800s? Why was that?
according to Twitter it seems to be 5 vice 10 on the 08:45 LDS to KGX service today...

Quite a lot of trouble with toilets in my experience.Disabled toilet leaked and has flooded the vestibule and damaged the carpet which has come away from the floor.
There was a plan to swap it for a Mk4 later in the diagram....... Unsure if will still happen as a fatality at Carlton has just occurred
Can anyone tell me, please, whether it is planned that any 5 coach sets (obviously and hopefully in multiple!) will reach York and even further North. I can’t quite work out what it is intended to operate them on apart from the Lincolns. Thank you

Network Rail have just relayed a disused siding on the north end of Harrogate station this weekend to take 10 IET carriages. It will take a double shunt to enter and exit the siding as the entrance is at the south end, so not the easiest as both platforms are in regular use now. If it was made into a loop it would be easier to enter from the north and not just from the south. It still has an upside down sleeper as a bufferstop at the north end. As I said earlier, LNER intend to run 9 and 10 cars through to Harrogate and not split at Leeds.There was a suggestion that the 5 cars would be used to operate West Yorkshire trains splitting at Leeds - so 10 to Leeds splitting for 5 to Harrogate or 5 to Bradford with 5 staying at Leeds for the next service coupled to an inbound train from one of those stations.
However it has also been suggested that Harrogate services will be full length instead not splitting at Leeds.
If regular through services to Middlesbrough or Sunderland come to pass, you might expect splitting 5+5 to be involved on these. Remember however that there are only 10 5-car 800s.
Could anyone advise the 10 car diagrams for Weekday and Saturday workings please of to Leeds soon and unsure of a weekday or weekend trip chees
CheersLNER booking engine shows what is booked for 10-car and this thread includes other information

10-cars work every day of the week and 5-cars from Monday 21 October on Lincoln services.
Maintenance purposes, most likely. If they see a 5-coach "201" Azuma, the Hitachi team will know it's a bi-mode. Likewise, if they see a 9-coach "201", they'll know it's an EMU.Why are they numbered as they are?
9 coach electrics are 801 201 etc
9 coach bi-modes are 800 101 etc
5 coach electrics are 801 101 etc
5 coach bi-modes are 800 201 etc
Why didn’t they number all the bi-modes (for example) in the 200 series?
Very confusing when getting on at KX when you have not got a reservation unless you know all the numbers exactly!!!
Five coach azuma today on the 9.30 kx to Edinburgh. Appalling.
Fits my experience of a very harsh ride with a lot of vertical movement.I had stuff (two bottles of Harrogate Spring, one full and one empty) fly off my table on an Azuma between Newcastle and Edinburgh today. I've often felt close to it on especially HSTs in the past, but it never actually happened. The table surface seems to be more free running than on the old stock and the lip less effective. No harm done, but there's something not quite right there.
I'm booked on the 1530 KGX - EDB later. It's down to be an Azuma. I'm getting nervous already.
Maybe they just need to let some air out of the airbags!Fits my experience of a very harsh ride with a lot of vertical movement.
