An excellent shot by David Malt and shared here with his permission 😎 That looks a bit unusual, a 31 right at the north end of platform 11 implying a longer train than an E.Anglia to BNS service (plus they were normally on lower platform numbers). Wouldn't have thought a 31 and Mk1s would have been on a service to the SW in '86 - are there any notes with the pic to give any more info? Not that I was around BNS much in those years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I was around BNS much in those years. 31412 was allocated to OC from 1972 to 1988. The RailGenArchive has it operating 1V21 1400 York - Plymouth Relief on that day, Tuesday 27 May 1986. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more than a reference to RailGenArchive as quoted above, unfortunately. Judging from the exhaust and position the train is actually departing rather than just parked, however, so 1V21 York - Plymouth certainly fits.
