When full Azuma operation commenced in 2020 LNER announced that
a small number of the Class 225 sets would remain in operation until 2023. Writing this fast approaching the end of their target year I can find no news as to when they will be stood down even on the 225 Group's website. In the early morning light at King's Cross 91114 'Durham Cathedral' has just arrived propelling the 1A02 05.30 from Leeds and rests next to 91107 which will work the 08.33 to Leeds. Azuma 801208 is to the left and will soon leave with the 08.30 1S08 service to Edinburgh.
