Good question, removing the PO (Coach M, the others being POD and POP) would seem most logical as, mentioned by yourself, it doesn't have the accessible toilet or crew area.
Find out on Sunday (or just look at the seating plan for 1A26).
Looks like it is M (PO) and E (TO) removed. This is what appears for 1A26 when trying a booking for Sunday:
Shows as a 9 car set now
Perhaps they've had to amend it for some reason then.
Edit: I've rechecked and it still shows as a 7 coach with E and M removed for me.
Others may disagree, but I think so.
You would think they would wait until as close to the new timetable before they start running around as 7 cars.
It's far more likely that they've simply amended the reservations system to remove the coaches for reservation purposes which will allow them to start retailing tickets for journeys post-TT change with minimal work.
Well, upthread someone said Sunday was meant to be the first working of a 7-coach in service, I just went and looked up the seat plan.
Yep, that matches exactly what I saw on LNER's seat map on Thurdsay - M and E removed.

is there a possibility for a text version to be provided, if you have access to it? Otherwise, our blind members/readers won't know what's been posted. Edit: thanks 
The diagrams are still subject to change, particularly the one involving Newcastle. There’s a problem with where to put the train during the layover at Newcastle.Thanks for posting this
It's a shame that the Forth Banks branch wasn't electrified. Could they run empty to and from Heating Depot....or would the track access charges be prohibitive?
Thought it was just spinning round the bridges? Shouldn't be too much of an issue?

Crewed by Leeds or King’s Cross drivers.
I don’t think there have been any electric trains round there for quite some time.
I think that wouldn’t be possible due to time constraints and route knowledge, the intention is to use Leeds or King’s Cross drivers.
The power to weight ratio may be similar, but the loco can't put down full power until it reaches around 90mph. It's also geared for 160mph and only four powered axles, so the tractive effort is considerably lower. Tractive effort is fairly consistent until maximum power is reached then it reduces. An Azuma is way quicker off the mark due to it's combination of AC motors, more powered axles and lower gearing.
I fully agree and appreciate that; bit of simplification on my part there.
The only time I ever travelled on a class 91 hauled service that I considered quick was when it was a Mark 3 consist with an a HST power car at the back providing extra traction power. But even so, I don't recall that consist picking up speed from 0 to 60 mph in the same way a Class 801 does.
I THINK tfw has an option for all remaining MK4s to add to their fleet, I don't know if these will be released though
LNER haven't been good at retaining spare parts from scrapped stock if that's where they're bound. 91105 has spent a long time out of service because they didn't cannibalise any second man side windscreens, they only retained drivers side ones. DOH!
Yes. Including via Knaresborough!
Thanks for confirming this. It was already divulged by several trusted sources.
