Berwick-upon-Tweed
As the down Flying Scotsman sweeps through Tweedmouth in September 1970 behind D9012 Crepello it will already be braking for the passage of Berwick station but then it will be the usual banshee wail as it accelerates away to the north - that was how I first experienced a Deltic in 1961 and it was something never to be forgotten. I was leaning over the wall just north of the then A1 overbridge at Berwick trying to read the number of a J39 which was shunting the yard when a Deltic went through non-stop. It was going too fast to be identified but I was mightily impressed!
