31128 Thetford - 10 March 2026
31128 provides the power from Chaddesden.
If you'd told me, 28 years ago when I was observing the 'final' Class 31 railtour - Long Goodbye - at Peterborough, that I'd be seeing a 31 giving it hell on the mainline today, I'd probably have laughed, but been hopeful that they still existed.
Typically, we're working away this week, but got back in time to see.
