Fresh from it's final classified repair 55015 (D9015) "TULYAR" departs King's Cross on the 23rd June 1979 with the 1D02 12:05 King's Cross - Hull service. The locomotive still retains the domino headcode blinds normally plated over during classified repairs at Doncaster from 1976 forward, this was a cut-back by Doncaster Works as a decision had been made to plate over headcode destination blinds only if glasses were cracked. Finsbury Park, however, decided to carry out the work on its locomotives anyway and 55007, 55009 and 55015 had their marker panels plated over following classified repairs - 55015 received this treatment only days after this photograph, first seeing traffic after treatment on the 28th June.
