April 1961. Easter holidays. Aged 13. We decided to visit for a first ever visit to York. Route Liverpool Lime Street - Leeds - York. Our d.m.u slowed down at Church Fenton in order to join the East Coast main line for the last few miles into York. Loooking out of the right hand windows we saw a "streak" at full belt with its train heading North. Unfortunately the train was too far away for us to distinguish the number. As soon as we got to York we enquired of the fraternity what was the last "streak" to pass through going North.
Mallard was the reply. This was my first A4 cop. A never to be forgotten experience.
