An early view of D9004, prior to the application of yellow warning panels and nameplates, sees it with the 1A14 09:40 King's Cross - Newcastle service on the 13th August 1962. If the locomotive stayed to diagram it would have been removed at Doncaster and then worked 2N57 12:58 Doncaster - Leeds and 1E15 17:00 Bradford - King's Cross from Leeds.
