“EMERGENCY! Please leave the station!” *him casually standing there filming an 805*

This fire alarm was later confirmed to be a drill - bit of a shock hearing "Inspector Sands" in the middle of a spotting session. Completely by coincidence I heard it on a separate occasion later in the afternoon at King's Cross too!

I agree, I think their interiors are much more pleasant than previous GWR or LNER units. They remind me a lot of the Lumo Class 803s.

He is safe as he at the far end of the platform

In a real fire, I'm not sure what the safest thing to do would be as a spotter at the far end of the platform - what do you think? I think I would have exited the station rather than stayed at the end of the platform.

Glad to see these units finally in service I wonder when the 807s will arrive?

807s are in testing at the moment, but I'm not sure if there are any that are painted into the Avanti colours just yet. I think it'll be a while, but maybe they'll be in service by the end of the year.

Why is there a GWR IEP there? Was it on loan to Avanti West Coast?

The GWR 802 was running driver familiarisation runs between the GWML and London Euston. Euston may become a diversionary route for GWR when the Old Oak Common area is closed due to HS2 works.

lol theres a gwr 800 at euston
