31106 heads an officers special on the up main line at the west end (receptions) of the yard in summer 2005.
Strange to see 31106 in a shot about 20 years since it was actually allocated to HM around the mid 80s.
I remember once being hauled by 31106 on one cold November night in the mid 80s all the way from Birmingham
New Street to Wakefield. I hope the people on the coach here are warmer on their trip than I was on mine!
