LNER announced some engineering works on my holiday in November how would I find out if I can book one of the newer type trains as I don’t like the tilting ones? Is there a way to check which ones run?

Based on your location you won't find much luck there.
The Everos mostly operate on Holyhead, Liverpool and Birmingham to London.

@Citybreak1. Are you travelling from London to Scotland? Doubt you'd ever get to know just which trainset Avanti would be using on a particular Anglo-Scottish service this far ahead of travel. Journey could still be made via the WCML using other operators, with intermediate changes, but would likely take much longer.
The only guarantee would it would be a class 390.
As has been pointed out, only the Pendolinos (tilting trains) run up to Scotland for Avanti at the moment. Maybe you could try Transpennine Express, who operate between Edinburgh/Glasgow and Manchester?
No idea where you're going, but you'd then have connections to a lot of the country from there.

The newer Hitachi units aren't allocated to any of the Anglo-Scottish services in any case (barring the Carlisle - Preston S&C diversions for a couple of weeks next January, as a partial exception).

Ah okay that’s a shame. I checked and there’s LNER to Peterborough but sadly a bus service got the rest of the journey to Kings X and my hotel can’t be changed
