Just seen on RTT,an Oxley carriage MD to Carlisle and return via Settle and Carlisle route.Rail record has timing load of Class 800,and further down states Virgin West Coast 11 car Pendolino testing.Interesting to see what it will be.
Also had the Blue class 153 through yesterday and back again later.

It is a 5 car and it is 805007.

Not seen anything anywhere to suggest it would have been a 10 car.

However, 10 cars would be planned for the diversion passenger services.

Avanti were telling me it was going to be a 10. Must have changed.
