Before our late night drive home from London to the West Country, Graham and I paid a quick visit to King's Cross. We found two Deltics at the station, the first being 55015 'Tulyar' at the head of the SO 21.00 1S66 to Edinburgh. It was a tricky photograph to take as I had to pop off the platform end and it is taken looking back into the light of the station. Notice the HST sitting in a platform to the left. This Deltic is still with us today and, at the time of writing, thanks to the incredible hard work of the Deltic Preservation Society, will be operating again after a long restoration.
