In the gathering gloom, wind and rain at York station,
a trio of LNER trains are seen brightening up the view! To the left 82219 sits at the back of the 14.30 King's Cross to Newcastle. This train was cancelled here at York along with many other northbound services due to a line closure at Chester-Le-Street. In the centre is 800107 waiting to work the 5Q24 crew training run to Doncaster with no less than four people in the cab! To the right, 82229 is leading the 14.30 Edinburgh to King's Cross. With the class 91/82 Mk.IV sets still dominating ECML services, things about to change as the the class 800 Azumas enter service in the coming weeks.
