On the 16th April 1979 55002 (D9002) "THE KING'S OWN YORKSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY" gets the 1L18 18:09 King’s Cross - York service away from the capital.
Unfortunately the loco only made it as far as Holloway where it suffered engine failure, 55003 (D9003) "MELD" was dispatched from Finsbury Park to relieve 55002 which made its way to the Park for repairs.
