1N42 23:55 King's Cross - Newcastle (69 minute delay Retford & 4 minute delay Doncaster - assisted to York).
Casualty report states: Total failure, compressor fault, loss of main air - suspect compressor governor frozen. Driver reported fault corrected itself after opening nose end door to allow in warm air. Locomotive worked forward from York unassisted. No mentholated spirits in compressor anti-freeze dispenser.
A note which accompanies this particular casualty report states: BRB instructions are that mentholated spirits should not be used in compressed air systems but local instructions are in force in this division that it should be used in severe conditions, as were prevailing on this particular night. It is interesting to note therefore that this particular locomotive had come off Finsbury Park Depot who had, due to an oversight omitted to fill the anti freeze dispenser, whilst other class 55 locomotives which had been serviced at King's Cross had had their dispensers filled and had worked without trouble. The handwritten remarks at the foot of this note merely state 'Balls'.

Casualty report states: boiler defective - fuel pump seized.
This is an odd casualty report (concluded 29.06.78) as the TRN stated is 1A01, though the working is stated as 10:45 KX-Newcastle, it dies say that the fuel pump was renewed, but not where . Also it would appear that this move was in order to get 55007 to works. Conclusions by DME KX on 28.06.78 are also vague as they state: I note that this locomotive has subsequently experienced a fractured fuel tank (16.05.78), works repairs to same, and fuel strainer/filter contamination problems, but I am unable to associate this with the above casualty.
To Doncaster Works - Unclassified repair. PIC
