The 08.20 Newcastle to King's Cross working was rostered to be an HST. However, on this day there was obviously a problem as 55017 'The Durham Light Infantry' was substituted. Following our run down from Grantham, the Deltic arrives at Peterborough. If we had been able to access gen as happens today we could probably have waited for this train at Grantham an travelled in it rather than behind 47434.
