15th June 1981 and 55014 (D9014) "THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S REGIMENT" has the unfortunate task of taking locomotive 55012 (D9012) "CREPELLO" on its last ever trip. Condemned on the 18th May 55012 was moved from Finsbury Park to York two days later to be robbed of any usable spares after which No.14 was called upon to remove the loco to Doncaster Works for scrapping. I think the sky says it all!!
