That's the basics of the one I've heard Trev. It's in a book called Railway Ghosts and Phantoms, written by W B Herbert. I'd check the details in that, but I've lent my copy to a friend in Cumbria, so this is all from memory. Basically, two spotters, who where clued up on the happenings of the ECML, where surprised to hear a Deltic approaching Hadley Wood, and when it came past they both thought that it was carrying the number 55020, which they both knew had already been scrapped. So they went to the station to see if they could shed some light on the issue, but the station staff informed them that there had been no trains through for 15 minutes, or something like that. If anyone has a copy of the book to hand, can they just confirm I've got that right, or post corrections if not please?
