55017 (D9017) THE DURHAM LIGHT INFANTRY" passes through Doncaster on the up centre road on Saturday 29th August 1977, with the 1E01 08:00 service from Edinburgh to King's Cross. At this time 55017 still retained the four character headcode blinds though by this time redundant and displaying the familiar white dots. No.17 would enter Doncaster works on the 3rd October for its final Intermediate overhaul and re-appear on the 19th January 1978 with plated over headcode panels and with the loss of small triangular cab-side windows and nose and bodyside sandbox filler doors (in evidence here adjacent to the small tail lights).
