91118 waits to leave King's Cross leading the 1S25 16.25 to Edinburgh. Out of all the liveries carried by these trains over the years the Virgin East Coast one looks particularly smart. It is likely that this will be their last reincarnation until they are replaced by the IETs at the end of 2018 and the start of 2019. However, what will happen to these far from life-expired train sets after that is anybody's guess; too good to scrap surely?
