montyburns56 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I was searching for more pictures of Haddenham station but the only half decent one that I could find was this one from a few years earlier which looks bizarrely similar to that other one....

D5629 1962 by Kevin Lane I'm assuming the station was 'Haddenham Cambs' because Haddenham, the Bucks one was also in LNER territory (albiet joint with the GWR) but I can't think it was that confusing. But on the same thinking, if you caught the train from there to St. Ives were you greeted with a similar sign to avoid confusion with the Cornish version?

stewartingram Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Answer to the sign? No! Definitely the Cambs village. Interesting point, the station building became a Scout hut or similar after closure (I can't remember exactly what it was). The goods shed became the home of a local business; later on they expanded their buildings over virtually the whole site, & I believe the goods shed remained within the larger new building (for a while at least). I drove over that bridge on Thursday and found the business gone, with all the buildings just having been demolished. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one - 31216 (ex-5641) has clearly just acquired its TOPS number but instead of having this applied over the old one on the bodyside like the vast majority of early blue 31s the cabside arrow logo has been overpainted and the new number applied there instead. Presumably like 31304 (ex-5837) & 31408 (ex-5646) which received the same treatment the logo was still carried on the secondman's cabside at the opposite end. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWJ Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I'm not really into 31s, but for those of you who are, here are a few of my very amateur photos from the privatisation era... 31602 burbles away in the sidings at Derby Station on 19th June 2009. BR green-liveried 31190 stabled at Doncaster with an infrastructure monitoring train on 27th March 2008. I didn't note the number of the loco, which I believe is in Fragonset livery. 31018 as preserved in the National Railway Museum, taken on 12th February 2009. 31106 propels an infrastructure monitoring train Northbound from York station on 7th June 2010, controlled from the leading DBSO. Cheers, Will 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWJ Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 A few more: 31601 propels a very short test train through Platform 3 at York on 5th June 2010. 31285 and 31465 pause at York on a light engine(s) movement on 4th May 2011. 285 again, this time at Doncaster on 26th November 2011. Cheers, Will 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWJ Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 One last one: 31459 'Cerebus' leads what I believe was a very unusual formation into York on 17th March 2009. I don't believe NR's HST power cars were ever wired to work in multiple with a 31 so this was probably just a stock movement rather than a top-and-tail operation.
