Rare in my spotting days
My second roll of colour film and sometime in May 1983 a class 31 rolls off the Reading line and across the Junction into Basingstoke Station heading for Eastleigh yard (I guess?) My Gran lived in Hampshire so I spent many school holidays on the South Western division and this is the only time I saw a Class 31 in this area. The class 31 seems to be the only sharp part of the picture but I cannot tell you if its the awful lens on the Halina Paulette Electric or my beginners technique! 2 blurry spotters can be seen on the left watching the rare loco.
