D5631, 15.55 Holt-Sheringham, Weybourne station 
 As the sun sets behind Kelling Wood on Wednesday 19th October 2022 D5631 (formally 31207) arrives at Weybourne station leading the 15.55 Holt to Sheringham service. This locomotive is actually owned by the M&GN Joint Railway Society which is based almost entirely on the North Norfolk Railway. This Class 31 operated throughout East Anglia during its early life and being new to service in 1960 it could well have operated on this route before initial closure. Much derided during my early spotting years, the Class 31s were actually an excellent, versatile and long-lived design; that is after the terrible Mirlees engines that were fitted to the first batch were replaced with the familiar English Electric 12SVT that was also fitted with all of the latter ones built.
