Azumas for LNER

LNER has launched its first bullet-style Azuma trains on the East Coast mainline between London King’s Cross and

Leeds. The new train made its inaugural passenger journey on May 15, completing the route in just over two hours and travelling at around 125mph. In total, 65 new trains will replace the existing LNER fleet connecting key cities in the East Midlands, Yorkshire, North East and Scotland across the entire 936-mile East Coast network in the coming months.
