Burtonian 150
31451 at Wetmore Sidings
31451 struggles away from Burton with the load 11, 1E63 09:40 Poole - Newcastle. Although booked for a Class 45 or 47, 31/4s would often pop up on these longer cross country workings, presumably to cover for a shortage of motive power. The joke amongst fellow enthusiasts at the time was whether there was enough power, after providing the required ETS for such a service, yet they always managed to keep time. 19/3/85
