In a further overhaul/modification 60501 received the diagram 118 boiler betwean September and October 1952. Following these modifications 60501 was allocated to York, mainly working fast freights and slow passenger trains, with occasional appearances on workings to Kings Cross and on the GCR, and betwean Leeds and York.
