London North Eastern Railway has unveiled photos of its newly named train, 800111 ‘Thank You’.

As Remembrance Day approaches, the Azuma unit will travel along the East Coast Main Line as a reminder of those who fought to give our today.

Former Royal Navy Petty Officer Helen Firth and Royal Air Force Senior Aircraftman Will Warwick, were proud to officially launch the specially named train at London King’s Cross ahead of its journey to Aberdeen. 

Have you seen 800111 yet? If you have, feel free to share it on LocoStop with our community!

As a signatory of the Armed Forces covenant, we feel it is incredibly important to show our debt of gratitude to those who have served and continue to do so. We are proud that Azuma 800111 will carry our message of thanks. We hope this special livery acts as a moving reminder to all who see ‘Thank You’ on our route.
