London North Eastern Railway has revealed a new named and full liveried train as Pride celebrations get underway.

The Azuma train will call at more than 50 stations, including Harrogate.

Featuring eight LGBTQ+ flags, the train was revealed today to coincide with the start of Pride month.

Named ‘Together’, it celebrates LNER’s support of Pride activities as well as the company's commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion.



An LNER press release said the name "champions the unification of all communities which LNER is proud to support".

David Horne, managing director at LNER, said:

“It’s a momentous occasion for everyone at LNER to be unveiling the first full liveried Azuma in celebration of Pride ahead of our summer of supporting Pride events on our route."


LNER will be supporting Pride events in York, Edinburgh and London this month on the east coast route.

The flags included on the train are the intersex-inclusive progress pride flag, the transgender pride flag, the bisexual flag, the trans-inclusive gay men’s flag, the lesbian pride flag, the pansexual pride flag, the nonbinary pride flag and the asexual pride flag.
