Blurred memories
A slightly blurred time exposure, but probably worth uploading for the memory.
55021 is seen waiting to leave Waverley platform 7 with the 20.25 to Kings Cross on 23rd October 1981.
Earlier that day it had worked the 1V93 Edinburgh to Plymouth as far as York and the 1S27 return.
The following morning it was quickly turned round and departed Kings Cross at 08.45 on a special to Blackpool which it hauled as far as Leeds. Just another example of how intensively these locos were worked even in their last few months of service.
