Another of the tours in the Deltic farewell programme was The Celtic Deltic of 31st October 1981, the loco being two-tone green livery 55002 The King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, appropriately pictured about to pass through York. I obviously had a fairly busy day as the first train I photographed was the 07:05 Newcastle yo Edinburgh with 40086, I assume I must have travelled to Berwick and return on this before heading to York, return intended to be on the final Deltic hauled Plymouth to Edinburgh service, which in the event was a disappointment, being worked by 47557.
