55009 (55013), outward leg of The Coronation Deltic, 07.52 London King's Cross-Scarborough (1Z55, 8L), Peterborough station Peterborough station was awash with enthusiasts of every age for the arrival and departure of The Coronation Deltic charter that was postponed from 13.05.23 due to the ongoing industrial action. The DPS' 55009 'Alycidon' masquerading as 55013 'The Black Watch' slows to a halt leading the charter running, appropriately, as 1Z55. The reason for the change of identity was not just a bit of fun with the actual reason becoming clear later in the day. After setting off running on both engines from King's Cross on arrival at Peterborough one had been shut down and this remained the case for the rest of the journey. This did not prevent it from cresting Stoke summit at over ninety mph with load ten and a dead Class 47 on the rear. We also maintained ninety-five for several stretches of the line north of Retford.
