55017, 12.34 Hull-London King's Cross (1A18), London King's Cross station A second view of one of my personal favourite Deltics, 55017 'The Durham Light Infantry', as it enters King's Cross station. It has just brought the 1A18 12.34 ex-Hull from East Yorkshire and is looking just a little work stained with dirty and faded blue paintwork. Like the majority of its twenty-two classmates, this was the last year of Deltic operation with this example lasting until 31.12.80. Notice the 63 bus on York Way proudly displaying its Bartex sunglasses advertising. This very stylish brand of chromatic apparel was very much at the 'quality' end of the market but search as I have, I cannot find out what happened to the company. A photograph taken from a very similar position as this was taken on a visit to King's Cross in 2018, see.... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/23772626004/x91113-1s18-43295-1s16-london-king.
