RE: East Coast / Virgin Trains East Coast - northern156 - 16 May 2015
VTEC don't hire anything other than HSTs.
All EMT HSTs and EC64 have leather seats in 1st; if it was a full EMT set would've been 43064 and 43081.
Can't find anything about what the other set was although I'll keep trying

No. If any get liveried, I'll add them to the fleetlist.

It certainly was as late as 21st May, as I spotted it in Kings Cross on it's way to Leeds.

It's on hire for a few years isn't it? To cover for refurbs to existing sets

There was a HST set on a Anglo-Scottish/Newcastle diagram today. Saw it down Team Valley way near where I work. I can't make my mind up with it. It looks like a giant Christmas candy cane that went wrong 2/3s of the way down and reversed...
