As the heading says, I'm trying to find out more about the V1 allocated to King's Cross shed from April to June 1930, for trials on the Cambridge trains, any help would be gratefully received, Thanks

According to "Greeny" 9B KX had 2911 for 7 weeks April to June 1931. 1st duty was on a local to Potters Bar then used on alternate days on the 7.29 to Cambridge, it was also used on the 18.30 to Baldock.

Thank you 52A, I had heard rumors that a V1 had been in the KX area, great to be confirmed.
