A class 08 shunter awaited its next call to duty as 55 016 prepared to leave York with 1A34, the 20:19 to King's Cross on 11 December 1981.
The weather had turned decidedly wintry compared to a few days previously and there was already a heavy frost. So where better to spend Friday night than a freezing cold York station?
