Good morning. Please excuse my ignorance as to whether the Class 800 are even running yet, but I don't suppose they have diagrams on East Coast in the new timetable? I'm taking my son from Leeds to London on 5th July (10:15) and returning the next day (leaving Kings Cross at 15:03).
Thank you for any advice given.

Unfortunately these are not scheduled to run in passenger service just yet.
GWR services from Paddington are using a variation on this unit currently so whilst you’re in London you could get a ticket to have a ride out and back on one there.

Not expected in service until December 2018 at the earliest so no chance of getting one in July I'm sorry to say!
