Could a knowledgable person on here solve a mystery for me? I was on the 2134 Kings Cross to Royston service tonight, and just before Finsbury Park we passed a plain-coloured Hitachi (I think) train going south. It's front end was similar to those that are operating on South Eastern's High Speed service.
A quick look on realtimetrains suggests it may have been this http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K97209/2017/06/16/advanced

Thanks

Sounds like it was the 800 tests.

From the Class 800 thread it was quite probably 800012 being delivered to North Pole.
