A NEW livery featuring a puppet will be unveiled on a train which runs to and from Bradford Forster Square.

LNER has revealed its latest named train and livery inspired by a new advertising campaign, and its VIP (Very Important Puppet) star Eleanor.

Named after the train company’s new mascot herself, the quirky and bright liveried ‘Eleanor’ train will serve many LNER destinations between Scotland and London King’s Cross, with Bradford Forster Square among the train's likely destinations.

‘Eleanor’ joins the Azuma fleet as the fourth named train, alongside ‘Century’, ‘Together’ and ‘You Belong’, all of which launched last year.

Eleanor was introduced to her very own train for the first time at York Railway Station.

The advert sees mascot Eleanor enjoying a journey onboard one of LNER’s world-class Azuma trains, where she experiences and showcases things people can do when travelling across LNER’s 956-mile route.

David Horne, managing director at LNER, said: "Our latest newly liveried train is a bit different to the others - featuring 'Eleanor' the new star of our latest advertising campaign. 

"I’m sure ‘Eleanor’s’ striking and fun design will be another popular sight for children and adults alike.”

The new livery has been applied to unit 801225.
