Cab, 55022, 16.30 Hull-London KIng's Cross (1A28), Hull station An illicit cabing allowed this image of 55022 ‘Royal Scots Grey’, to be taken on the 1A28 16.30 Hull to London King’s Cross, taken at Hull station. Two things strike me about this view. Firstly how utterly filthy the cab and its controls are and secondly the basic nature of them. Notice the piece if material riveted to the control desk below the dials designed to keep the driver's legs and knees warm protecting them from an obvious draft point. Finally, notice the writing on the control panel above the nose cone door stating 'To Ray Eakins'. Ray was an official and board member of the Deltic Preservation Society (The DPS) for many years and prior to that an engineer at 'The Plant' (Doncaster). It looked like this control module was heading his way in 1980 for attention!
