On the 6th June 1966 D9000 "ROYAL SCOTS GREY" backs down onto the 1A06 08:00 King's Cross - Edinburgh, "The Talisman" service at King's Cross.
The loco had just passed through works for a double power unit transplant and had only emerged from Doncaster on the previous day.
Its rear train reporting number suggests its last working was the 1A03  07:55 Newcastle - King's Cross, "The North Eastern" service, which probably occurred prior to entering works on the 31st May.
