- Avanti West Coast's 805005 departs London Euston station on one of its last days of mileage accumulation before entering service and operating its first service on the 2nd June 2024 for the June timetable changes, coinciding with an evacuation drill at London Euston.
“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!
@@ItsAllAboutTheJourney ah i thought it was a genuine evacuation
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.
I do like the new 805's they're nice
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.
lol theres a gwr 800 at euston
That's a story for another day!
class 802114
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.
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.
