Andy and I were somewhat surprised to find Azuma operation almost back to normal following the previous week's debacle that led to the temporary withdrawal of the entire fleet along with all other types elsewhere in the country due to frame cracking. Whilst GWR have still struggled to get their sets back in service the LNER sets, which are considerably newer than their IET counterparts, appear to have fared better. 801202 works the 09.03 King's Cross to Leeds service past Penny's Lane near New Rossington.
