55017 'The Durham Light Infantry' looks to be running on both engines as it leaves King's Cross. I have this down in my notes as the 1N18 15.00 to Newcastle. However, I think that this is incorrect as it's the next image on the negative strip after 55002 that worked the 15.00 to Edinburgh according to the Chronicles of Napier website, any information to solve this mystery gratefully appreciated. 55017 was one of my favourite Deltics as it was the first one I ever saw as a spotter in 1977 at York. In this image, notice the BR (Eastern Region) blue enamel above the portacabin to the far left. The cabin has now gone (along with the enamel) and the entrance is where the track for platform 0 goes into the station.
