During my travels behind Class 55 Deltic in 1981 for some reason 55009 Alycidon was elusive. I was booked on a BR railtour on 28th November 1981 from Newcastle to Edinburgh via Carlisle and Beattock with the return a straight run on the ECML. The day dawned miserable and did not improve later. I positioned myself for a shot of the train arriving at Newcastle and it was 009, yay. The outward run was nothing special, the return was the opposite, already mentioned elsewhere here.
