(26 Nov 2015, 7:29 pm)GX03 SVC As the train is an electric set (Class 91 - InterCity 225) and requires overhead wires to power it which Carlisle to Newcastle doesn't have, the electric sets have to be dragged over the lines.

Why allocate a train to a route it can't do, or was there some kind of diversion in place?

I have to say, I like the new VTEC designs keeping them in line with the livery; however, I always think this will be my favourite livery to run up and down the ECML. Seeing it in person was quite a sight.
