View eastwards from the station platform, on the lines leading to its home depot at Hornsey, this was one of the new 'transitional' Diesel locomotives newly brought into the London King's Cross area to replace steam locomotives on outer suburban and empty stock work. They were disappointing and after a year or two were sent away to the Scottish Region (Eastfield). No. D6108 was a 1,000hp Type 2 Bo-Bo (later Class 21), designed and built by the NB Loco Co., powered by M.A.N./G.E.C. motors; it started work in 4/59 and was withdrawn in 5/69.
