This was my first view of an IEP Azuma on the ECML and branded in Virgin EC livery. here, 800101 passes Woodcroft Crossing on the up fast working the 08.55 Doncaster Carr to Peterborough test train running as 5X60. This is a suitably long nine-car formation but I suspect that the seating and general environment will not be as good as in the excellent MkIVs that they are replacing.
