IEP's 800 201 and 202 on test at Brough on 5X60 from Doncaster IEP Depot - Hull. The unit would then work 5X61 to Lincoln Central. The purpose of the run was to test platforms along the route that the IEP would stop at, Hull, Brough, Selby etc. The pair waited in Brough for around 15 minutes while the numerous staff on board carried out tests and measurements, before the unit departed for Hull. Hull is rumoured to be the first line to get IEP runs when they start service, however this is the first time the Hull line has seen them.
