On August 16th 2008 55022 was used on the SRPS North Yorkshireman railtour which ran from Dundee to Scarborough as 1Z55 (what else?). Seen here passing the Tyne Bridge, the very symbol of Newcastle, the tour employed the SRPS stock and a class 37 on the rear (712 iirc). The picture was taken from the symbol of Gateshead, the brutalist "Get Carter" multi-storey car park, which has now been demolished and replaced with a large Tesco store, a shopping centre and housing.
