My first sighting of one of the new breed of Hitachi 5-car Class 800/0 intercity high-speed trains as No. 800002 approaches Ashchurch Station in Gloucestershire en route from Stoke Gifford to Hereford during a test run on a wet 1st October 2017.
As part of the UK Government's Intercity Express Programme, the Class 800 units will be partial replacements for the aging InterCity 125 trains which currently operate services on the Great Western Main Line and the East Coast Main Line. The Class 800 units will be electro-diesel multiple units, able to draw power from electrified overhead lines where available and power themselves via underfloor diesel generators outside the electrified network.
The first units will enter service on the Great Western Main Line (GWML) in October 2017, and on the East Coast Main Line (ECML) from 2018. These trains will be assembled at the Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility.

This is the first time the new class, which will replace the HST's, has appeared on the GWML. 800002 is the train and is running as 5X81 00:33 Acton Mainline - Stoke Gifford IEP Depot.
