During the early hours of 14th July 1979 55006 (D9006) "THE FIFE & FORFAR YEOMANRY" waits with the 1E24 22:50 Shrewsbury - York mail train at Stockport. The 1M41 21:50 York - Shrewsbury and 1E24 22:50 Shrewsbury - York mail trains first saw Deltic traction in 1974 when 55009 (D9009) "ALYCIDON" broke new ground on the 8th March. It was one of the more unusual Deltic turns and saw the locomotive removed at Stockport from 1M41 and re-engine 1E24.
