...The poor external condition of 55010 (D9010) "KING'S OWN SCOTTISH BORDERER" is in evidence as it departs York on 16th August 1980 with the 1S12 05:50 King's Cross - Aberdeen service. Both 55003 (D9003) "MELD" and 55010 were due intermediate repairs at this time and only one would be sanctioned for overhaul - in the event 55003 was withdrawn and 55010 shopped for repair at Doncaster.
