David Horne, LNER Managing Director said: “While we continue to follow government guidelines around travel, LNER wants to inspire people as they look to plan ahead for the future by sharing some incredible views which really are the jewels in the crown of our route and who better to guide audiences through the journeys than some of our drivers.”

LNER are proving ever so popular, ever since they took over, let alone do such a great job at running the East Coast Main Line…
Also A Great Idea of them, in Advertising & Promoting in-between… Hopefully this’ll get more to Travel by Rail, within the Foreseeable Future.
I’d look forward to riding aboard one of those LNER Azuma Expresses ‘in-person’ someday… let alone experience the much more modern (21st Century) LNER.
