31263 arrives into Birmingham New Street station. As a March locomotive this particular 31 did a lot of its work in the Eastern Region. Looking at its logs it powered many of the Norwich-Birmingham-Norwich workings and I suspect that this will have been what it was doing on this particular day. A comfy and properly sprung seat in a Mk1. coach has to be better than the plastic 172 units (or whatever else runs on this route) now!
