28. A Deltic on the WCML……!-21.04.23

This particular move did not attract much attention which was a bit of a surprise. There was a one-way non-advertised InterCity charter from King’s Cross to Edinburgh that was going to be hauled by one of the preserved Deltics. As I was due to work on this day I was unable to go and see it on its former ECML stomping ground so I had to put up with the ecs move up the WCML from Crewe to London. It did mean I had to phone in and say that I was going to be a little late for work but a Deltic trumps just about anything including earning money! Unfortunately, the weather did not play ball but never mind!
