A sample of the forthcoming R3691 Class 800 in 'Paddington' livery, as included in August's Engine Shed blog - http://ow.ly/7QYi30lDgQo

Set No.800 010 comprising PDTRBFO 815 010 ‘Paddington Bear’, MCO 814 010, MSO 813 010, MSO 82 010 and PDTSO 811 010 ‘Michael Bond’

A logical design progression from the hugely successful Class 395 Javelin, Hitachi's Intercity Express Programme Class 800/801/802 stock, is set to run the length and breadth of Great Britain; from Penzance to Inverness, Liverpool to Yorkshire's East Coast. Hitachi's pioneering bi-mode (dual electric/diesel) technology, designed to technical specifications laid down by the Department for Transport, gives the Class 800 the flexibility to run on a variety of lines, on gradients up to 1:37 and with differing lineside infrastructure, as well as being adaptable to future transport planning and passenger demands.
