1968-1969 Diagrams
By the start of the summer timetable
all Deltics had been fitted with air-brakes, however, the 1967 diagrams were
not restored. The Deltic temporary diagrams introduced in February were made
permanent and continued into the summer timetable with a few exceptions:
Basically Finsbury Park (Clarence Yard) had six duties as did Gateshead
whilst Haymarket only four. One Haymarket duty having been transferred to
Gateshead for the peak summer period, this covering the 08:00, 10:00 and
16:00 departures from both King's Cross and Edinburgh. Clarence Yard and
Haymarket covering one extra working each, with Clarence Yard locomotives
working a six-day sequence covering all the high-speed Leeds and Newcastle
trains. In addition it was found that the 23:14 (SX) Newcastle - King's
Cross and 23:55 (SX) King's Cross - Newcastle could be reinstated to Deltic
haulage. Two extra services were introduced covering the summer only 10:10
King's Cross - Edinburgh returning on the up car sleeper (Clarence Yard duty
No.7) and 10:05 (SO) & 10:00 (SuO) Edinburgh - King's Cross returning on the
down car sleeper (Haymarket duty No.5).
The summer diagrams continued into the
winter period with two new diagrams replacing the summer only services.
Diagrams for eighteen locomotives had been restored breaking down into seven
for Clarence Yard, six for Haymarket and five for Gateshead. Two former
gates head duties having been transferred to Haymarket.
The new Deltic hauled services included the 09:00 King's Cross - Newcastle,
16:20 (SX) King's Cross - Leeds, 01:00 King's Cross - Newcastle, 07:50 (SX)
Newcastle - King's Cross and 15:15 Newcastle - King's Cross (the latter
being Deltic timed since May 1968 but during the summer not Deltic hauled).
By virtue of quicker turn-rounds it was possible to include two parcel
trains; 3S33 21:40 (FSX) King's Cross - Newcastle and 3E09 23:58 (FSX)
Newcastle - King's Cross.
