...After arrival at Hull 55007 rests with the 1D04 17:05 service from King's Cross. The Saturday and Sunday services were actually untitled, however, the headboard was carried for continuity throughout the final week of locomotive operation. 55007 would be handed the honour of hauling the final loco hauled 1D04 the following day, Sunday 4th January 1981, after which both up and down "Hull Executive" services passed into HST operation.
