Bringing up the rear of the 5Z54 07.10 Crewe HS

to King’s Cross ECS 90001 ‘Royal Scot’ is not under power allowing Deltic D9000 ‘Royal Scots Grey’ to do all the work at the front. The stock was heading to King’s Cross via the North London line and a reversal at Hornsey in order to work a one-way private charter operated by LSL to Edinburgh via the ECML later in the day. Unfortunately, the Deltic gave trouble on the later run between Grantham and Newark with the electric having to give some assistance with the train arriving over an hour late into Waverley.
