London North Eastern Railway make a special gesture to those who have served

Ahead of Remembrance Day, LNER has revealed a special Azuma train which is decorated with a dedicated poppy design

London North Eastern Railway is proud to reveal its Azuma which is now decorated with a poppy design and features text that states ‘To those who have served, Thank You'. The design has been added to both sides of the front and rear driver's cabs on the train.

The commemorative design can be seen throughout November as the train operates on the East Coast route.

The rail operator will also support The Veterans Charity's Route of Remembrance Campaign once again this year with the aim of moving large numbers of remembrance wreaths across the country by train.

Working with the charity, the rail operator will provide travel for Veterans carrying poppy wreaths on the 11th of November on the 05.48 London North Eastern Railway service from Edinburgh Waverley.

Further volunteers will join the train at Newcastle, Durham, Darlington and York. The journey will culminate with the wreath carriers arriving in London ahead of 11am in order to place their wreaths as part of the remembrance ceremony at London King's Cross station.
