Filmed on 01/10/2024. After a months break due to having now another job, we are back on the tracks and the rails as we head to the capital for the day and kicking off with the key terminus station of the East Coast Mainline, London Kings Cross (Season 11 Episode 18)
The competition between LNER and Lumo is still on as Lumo runs fast services between London to Newcastle/Edinburgh. These Lumo services do not serve any Yorkshire stations and also what makes them unique is there offer no first class. Lumo trains is all standard class to challenge the airlines. Its head from LNER they have made an investment with CAF to introduce the all new class 398's. But, keeping the British Railways heritage is the ironic Intercity 225 sets which all sets are in the InterCity Swallow livery. Although, there are very few in service on this day.
Also in recent big news which comes from Grand Central, they are making an investment for brand new trains. It hasn't been confirmed as yet if they are Hitachi are something else but only time will tell. It does show though the class 180 Adelante's are on borrowed time.
