In the Bleak Mid-Winter
A suitably murky and cold 29th December 1981 sees 55009 ALYCIDON passing Clifton sidings as it arrives at York with 1G06 King's Cross - Hull, "The Deltic Executive" (via Harrogate). Sadly, this was the last time the outpost of Hull would receive a visit from one of these machines.
This was the last Deltic-hauled Special before the final run of all on January 2nd. As for ALYCIDON, there would only be three more service trains before withdrawal.
