Good morning to you all, I hope you all have a wonderful day whatever you have planned.
A gloomy afternoon at York suitably brightened up by 1N07! 91101 ‘Flying Scotsman’ heads the once a day IC225 northbound service to Newcastle.

This is going to be fun 👀

At Grantham, I found an IC225 set heading back to London King's Cross...

...but more specifically, @TM_Steve_'s IC225 😁

Pleasure to catch up with you! Have a brilliant afternoon pal 🫡

91130 ‘Lord Mayor of Newcastle’ powers away from York with 1N09, London King Cross to Newcastle Central. Always a pleasure to watch!

Starting my Annual Leave with MkIV breakfast... but not the one I was expecting 🤨

I'm Cardiff bound today, but the 67/MkIV I was expecting has magically turned into a 197, so in a last minute change of plan, I've made it to London on an IC225, still with breakfast

Swings and roundabouts hey 😅

📍 London King’s Cross

LNER reinstating their IC225 sets north of York certainly wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card, but a very pleasant surprise nonetheless. Should be a nice comfortable 3 hours up North, let’s go!

I just have to get myself a ride on this up to Newcastle and back soon! 91124 Stands in York with 1N07 on a wonderful spring afternoon.

Next 4 - maintaining a very IC225 theme here

91109 ‘Sir Bobby Robson’ departs from platform 11 at York with a service for London Kings Cross. These sets have become a bit of a rarity at York since the timetable change.

When you see a class 91 in platform 11 at York, it’s difficult to resist this shot! I don’t recall seeing a 225 set here for quite a while, so it had to be done!

After a handful of days bed bound by illness, I can finally begin my annual leave

Let's start with an IC225 shall we?

Another disappointment from LNER, IC225 replaced by an Azuma and no reservations available.😔

91111 ‘For the Fallen’ provides the traction at the rear of an afternoon departure from Leeds to Kings Cross. The loco looks stunning following some recent TLC at Neville Hill.

93004 Hauls a rake of Mk4 coaches through Leeds with 5Q26, Neville Hill to Worksop.
(93005 Attached at the rear)
Great to finally see one of these Stadler built machines up close, hugely impressive.

My childhood memories include getting IC225s all the way down the ECML, so to sample one north of York for the first time since I was 16 was amazing, the memories certainly came back for sure!

King Edward Bridge down, Royal Border Bridge next? Maybe one day

A well used vantage point, but not usually with this quality of sunlight on the 91! The 10:02 departure from York was covered by 91109 on August Bank Holiday Monday, which permitted this shot. Locomotive and station looking fine!

The newly named 91106 ‘Swallow’ in platform 8 at Leeds with a service bound for Kings Cross. A very fitting tribute to these east coast inter-city giants.

Good morning from Doncaster 👋

Today I'm heading up north, so it's time to get an Azuma from Doncas-

...actually this IC225 is going to York, I'm getting this instead 😆

🔥 Class 91 traction

1N09 flying through Peterborough, hauled by electric locomotive 91127 at the front (and 82208 as the DVT) to form an LNER IC225 service.

I still need to travel on one of these... best get my act together before 897s wipe them out

good evening internet here's a thread of me briefly escaping the country with @coastwaywill.me

3 years in the making...

91127 and set NL17 become the first IC225 set to visit the ECML North of York since 2021. It reversed at Newcastle before heading south again, all as an empty test in association with the overhead line monitoring equipment fitted to the loco 😁

Bit of radio silence here, nothing to worry about, just had not much to report really, just plodding along 😅

I do have another project lined up at least, I look forward to being able to announce it. For now, have an unrelated photo of a 225 at Leeds in 2023

Driving van trailer 82211 awaits departure time in platform 6 at York. The weekday service (1N81) from KGX to YRK and its return, has always been popular with enthusiasts and the public alike, not hard to see why!

As always, a wonderful trip to Kings Cross earlier this week. 91110 ‘Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’ provided the propulsion. 1A09 Seen here bathing in the morning sun at Kings Cross shortly after arrival.
