Deltic 55009 Alycidon Returns to Railtour Duties!

In this video, we capture the return of Class 55 Deltic 55009 Alycidon return to mainline railtour duties on The Capital Deltic Reprise Saturday 29th July 2023. The tour would see the Deltic make a very extensive trip from Willington to London Kings Cross via Sheffield, Doncaster, Gascoigne Wood, Doncaster (again) & Cambridge. The return legs of the tour heading from London Kings Cross to Cleethorpes via Lincoln Central and then from Cleethorpes to Willington via Ucleby where the 47 would take the tour from Cleethorpes to Ucleby to turn so the Deltic could lead once again. We first see the Deltic Friday 28th July at Clay Cross light engine powering towards Derby on the MML as she heads from Barrow Hill LIP to Burton Ot Wetmore Sidings in preparation for the tour. Saturday 29th July we first see 55009 at Unstone & Dronfield climbing the steep 1 in 102 gradient sounding fantastic as she roars her way towards Sheffield after picking up passengers at Chesterfield. However, due to an incorrect stock formation, the tour left Burton on the ECS to Willington 41 mins late, reaching us 53 mins late. We then made a trip into Lincolnshire to capture Alycidon at speed on her home territory, the ECML. Here she is seen at Frinkley Lane Foot Crossing, just north of Grantham where she speeds southbound 40 mins late, unfortunately with assistance from the Class 47 '47826' on the rear. We fast forward to the evening where we capture 55009 at Chesterfield 28 mins late, making a passenger drop-off on the return leg of the tour where she departs on one engine with assists from the 47. We finally capture her in the night at Hasland 27 mins late as she powers away from Chesterfield with the 47 doing equal amount of work as the Deltic to end off the day. It was originally planned that the Deltic would return to Barrow Hill Sunday 30th July (the date of uploading this video) but due to her now heading to Loughborough Brush (not sure the reasoning of this as of writing this) Monday 31st July it has been decided to upload the videos of the two days only. Overall it's been great to see the return of 55009 Alycidon on railtour duties for the first time since 2019, even with the 47 assistance and we hope to capture her on tours again in the future.
