Class 180 ID,s

[stephen_notts]

Hi folks
My passion for spotting has been well and truly rekindled after 40 yrs
I have made several trips so far. ...Retford ..... Chesterfield
Loving it ...

I have seen a few class 180 LNER units...but I have no idea where the number is on them

Be gentle it's my first post


Regards Stephen

I think you mean 800s and 801s? LNER doesn't have any 180s.

It's low down on the cab sides just behind the cab door; you should be able to see the number in this picture, under the "LN" part of the logo.

Hi Stephen, and welcome to the forum!

Glad to hear you’re enjoying being out travelling again! As has been pointed out, LNER don’t run class 180 units sadly. They do run 801 “Azuma” units, as well as intercity 225 sets. Did you mean one of these?

Stephen did not mention when he had seen 180s on ECML so it may have been quite some time ago.
I've seen 180s with their number in white on yellow under the windscreen, also just below the coupling gear and on the coupling gear cover.
(checked against my old photos)

LNER have never used Class 180s.

LNER have never used Class 180s.

No, but hull trains did and grand central do on the same line, it’s understandable that someone who’s just getting back into travelling again may get then a little mixed up, and blankety saying “no” isn’t helpful in answering the question.

I'm being gentle with Stephen - he may not recognize the different TOCs.....
A lot has changed after 40 years; even in the last few years!
