I'm pretty sure they didn't hang onto their petroleum subsector markings for long though, but that is only from memory

My records show that there were at least four 31's that had there sector markings changed from Petroleum to Coal these being 31199, 31201, 31304 and 31319. 31302 also became a coal sector loco but never had its logos changed from Petroleum upon transfer from Immingham.

I think the above transfers came about owing to the early demise of other coal sector liveried 31's 31120, 31217, 31276 & 31324 , which had become casualties and latterly spares donors.

As a matter of interest other Petroleum sector liveried 31's were transferred to Departmental Engineers 'Dutch' livery upon release from Immingham when class 60's took over the duties, these were 31185, 31207, 31233, 31238 & 31273.
