On theirs second month in service so I decided to get on one, so onboard 11:03 from London King's Cross to Leeds, They were in their 2nd month in service (Friday 23rd) A 9 car class 800 had entered service on the East Coast route. Operating just a handful of services between London King's Cross & Leeds, Hull, Newark Northgate & Edinburgh.

My overall first impression was very good! Very stylish, modern looking interior. Clear displays and easy accessibility throughout the train. Coaches themselves were very bright, spacious and extremely quiet (even at 125mph!). I did film a little around the seating area and also a walk through some of the carriage. I also filmed the vestibule area and toilet to give you an idea.
Once on the move you will notice an impressive display of acceleration,The 9 car set absolutely takes off from stations, even under the wires. From London this service called at Peterborough, Doncaster, (Non-stop through Adlwick at 125!), Wakefield Westgate and then into Leeds. All of that is featured in this video.
One thing worth mentioning that I missed on camera, (partly because you don't even realise its happening) is that near Grantham, while still travelling at over 125mph, the train was nice and smooth, and most of the other passengers were unaware of this.

Concluding; I'm impressed with the new trains. Spacious, nice interior, clear announcements, incredible acceleration, smooth running and obviously as they stand, very clean & tidy. I'm a little bit sad that there is a Let's Eat cafe bar which I think looks amazing. Also it has to be said that the seats weren't overly comfortable for a long period of time. The HST's will always stand tall on comfort and will sadly missed now their days are numbered.

Thanks for Watching
