Leaving a blue exhaust haze in its wake resident 'dirty diesel' 31289 approaches Merry Tome Lane on the Northampton and Lamport Railway with the 11.00 return Easter special. I am not sure why the driver has chosen 1M50 as the headcode on display as it is usually assigned to an international service from the south coast to the Midlands; not a working usually associated with Class 31s. Alternatively, it could have been to celebrate 31289's half-century but this important birthday took place two years ago in 2011!
