The final scheduled Deltic hauled service run was the 16:30 Aberdeen-York service on 31 December 1981, hauled from Edinburgh by 55 019 Royal Highland Fusilier, arriving in York at just before midnight.. The last train was an enthusiast special, the "Deltic Scotsman Farewell" on 2 January 1982, from King's Cross to Edinburgh and back, hauled by 55015 Tulyar northbound and 55022 Royal Scots Grey on the return.
exellent video, deltics reign supreme and i to would like to see deltics once again rule the ecml , its good to see a bit of steam as well, but yous can shove them 43, or 225s thanks for vid

Great vid, makes Retford looks like it was back in the 1960's, minus the 225's and the Electric wires. Super footage!
