Transition at York: un-named D9002 traverses the junctions at York with the non-stop 1A12 09:30 King's Cross - Edinburgh "Elizabethan" during the summer 1962 timetable. The Deltics inherited the service from the A3 and A4 steam locomotives equipped with corridor tenders and two crews had to travel in the diesel locomotives which had no connection to the stock. It was for this reason that the service was short lived under Deltic reign.
