THE heady days of a ‘Deltic+8’ returned to King’s Cross on April 21 with the short notice arrangement of LSL’s No. D9000 (55022) Royal Scots Grey working a one-way charter to Edinburgh, writes John Heaton.
This was a proving trip for the newly-overhauled ‘Deltic’, involving an empty run from Crewe to Hornsey via the WCML top-and-tail with Class 90 No. 90001 Royal Scot.
