55013 (D9013) "THE BLACK WATCH" is seen at Hull following arrival with the final loco-hauled 1D00 08:05 service from King's Cross on Saturday 30th May 1981. From the 1st June the only booked Deltic to Hull was the 1D08 19:40 from London returning the following morning as the 1A13 09:36 to King's Cross...

...55013 is seen on the return service at Newark, Clay lane, with the 1A18 12:34 Hull - King's Cross.

In a recent edition of Traction magazine (No.101) John Smith has an article studying loco movements around Newark and there is supposedly a photo of his of 55013 passing Newark crossings (page 13) but the loco in the photograph is actually 55008 - the photo should actually have been the one seen above!
