The locomotive remained at King's Cross Shed until 16th June 1963 when it was relocated to New England shed until withdrawn on 20th October 1963. It was broken up on 4th January 1964.
The train standing at the Down platform is the 1N48 07:15 Colchester to Newcastle service. This train ran on the old joint line from March through to Doncaster, so was probably unaffected by the diversions around Offord. The Buffet car seen in the photograph was the last coach in the train formation and was removed at York; the rest of the train continuing to Newcastle. The coach was then re-attached on the overnight return working.
