Based at Finsbury Park in North London, Alycidon was one of eight 'racehorse' Deltics stabled there. In May 1981, she moved to York after the closure of Finsbury Park and was one of four Deltics prepared to work a series of farewell railtours during their final six months of operation. Her final outing in BR service was on January 2nd 1982 as standby locomotive for the 'Deltic Scotsman Farewell'.
