The electrification of the East Coast Mainline occurring in 1987 was almost complete, with deliveries of new electric Class 91s occurring when British Rail realised the Mk4 coaches and Mk4 DVT were still not ready to go into service. As a result, eight eastern region HST power cars were converted to operate as surrogate DVTs in tandem with the new electric locomotives and a rake of Mk3 coaches. The conversion process involved the fitting of buffers and remote-control equipment.

Shortly following the popular British Rail Class 801 'Azuma' EMU were the nine-car 801/2 sets, with two units (801205 and 801207) entering service on 18 November 2019 onto the London King's Cross - Edinburgh route. As of November 2020, all Class 801 units have now entered service with LNER.

Contains 4 additional LNER Azuma class 802/2 coaches to extend the 5-car IEP train pack to a 9-car formation.
