91111 'For The Fallen' makes a dramatic sight as it races at line speed along the ECML at Holme Green crossing between Arlesey and Biggleswade. The IC225 set is one of a small number retained by the state operator LNER to supplement its operations on the ECML between London, Leeds and York. In this case, this is the 1D17 14.03 King's Cross to Leeds service. If I was planning a journey between London and Yorkshire I would try to ensure that I travelled on one of the IC225 services much preferring the sumptuous luxury of a comfortably sprung and generous seat of a Mk. IV coach.
