801230, GR 09.06 London King's Cross-York (1N81, RT) & 91101, GR 09.03 London King's Cross-Leeds (1D07, 4L), London King's Cross station
Having just worked up from Leeds a little earlier, 91101
'Flying Scotsman' will return leading the 1D07 09.03 service. Next to it, 801230 will leave just after the IC225 working the 09.06 to York. In the last half half and hour that I spent at King's Cross I observed no fewer than three IC225 sets in operation. I remember saying back in 2019 when the Azumas entered service that the IC225s would be sorely missed but here we are some five years later and they are still very much in frontline service!
