LNER 'Azuma' Class 800/1 Hitachi Bi-Mode 'IET' No. 800101 speeds through Colton Junction, working the 11:24 Darlington to Doncaster Carr Iep Depot GBRf Empty coaching stock and mileage accumulation service on 14th February 2020. This train was delivered to the UK for testing in 2015, but three of its vehicles were added to the Great Western Railway Class 800/3s, with new coaches sent from Japan. Following modifications at Eastleigh, it will be the final train from an order of 13 Class 800/1s, built for the ECML to enter traffic.
