JR Kyushu 821系 entering revenue service.

On my commute this morning, I noticed one of the newly delivered 821 sets coupled to an 811 series. I know 2 had been delivered for testing but looks like they’re now in regular services.

 Sorry not a great photo as I snapped while grabbing my connection.

I've seen them on the JRK facebook photo page a lot in the past week.  So I assumed they were in service.

I did get to look around one at a Minami Kokura works open day back in October. Also got to write messages/vandalise a Kiha 31.
