The train can now be seen along the East Coast route between London and Edinburgh Waverley including Reston in the Scottish Borders and will carry the special commemorative design throughout the rest of the month of November.

LNER is continuing to support The Veterans Charity’s Routes of Remembrance campaign this year, which aims to get remembrance moving with waves of wreaths travelling by train across the UK.
