55021 (D9021) "ARGYLL & SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDER" waits at a wet Doncaster on the 7th August 1979 with the 1L43 14:05 King's Cross - York service. The following day the locomotive saw action powering the 'Dunbar Shuttles' north of the border - these due to the closure of the ECML at Penmanshiel following the collapse of the tunnel roof there in March of that year.
