31124 March On Saturday 2nd August 1980, 31124, unusual in that it was an Old Oak Common loco, was procured to work the 13.16 Norwich - Birmingham which was a well laiden eight coach train. If the front of the loco looks a little uneven, that is how it was as it had just emerged from repairs at Swindon Works following a collision (with 31154 if my memory serves me right). Note the unusual pointed blue stars Swindon applied. , Over on the left a Derby Heavyweight DMU can just be seen forming the 13.50 Cambridge - Doncaster, E56023 (visible) was paired with E50027., I struggled to do anything with this print as it was totally red, so this actually came up half decent in the end.
