Introduced in September 1991 as part of BR’s InterCity fleet as 91024, it was part of the Adtranz rebuild between 2000 and 2003. It was renumbered 91124 and given the name ‘Reverand W Awdry’. Following the privatisation of BR in 1996/7, the East Coast fleet was operated by GNER and a new livery of blue and red was adopted, which was carried until 2007 when the franchise was lost. Since then, the franchise has passed through various operators, most recently LNER. With the introduction of new ‘Azuma’ trains, the Class 91 fleet was gradually stood down and put into store.
