With the afternoon rain clearing 31117 is seen arriving at Bath Spa with the 17.15 Bristol Temple Meads-Portsmouth Harbour. I remember that this caused some excitement as a 'toffee apple' or 'skinhead' Class 31 were rare visitors to the Bristol area. I particularly like the lighting in this shot. It breaks all the rules by looking into the light but the reflections and contrast that make it a cut above the others I was taking at this time on the Exa camera. I took this train from Bath back home to Bradford-on-Avon.
