Which was the first Class 56 to work a passenger train?

 

[xotGD]

56001

(And if that's not correct, you can surmise what my next guess will be!)

 

[Peterthegreat]

56008 worked the first advertised passenger service - The Melton Mowbray Pieman but 56004 rescued a passenger service near Sheffield a month or so earlier.
